The Irish opened the season with a hard fought 0-0 tie at #7 ranked Hamilton Southeastern. Much of the game was spent in a midfield battle between the 18’s. GK Jett Wallmeier made a diving save on a point-blank shot to end the 1st half and keep the Royals off the board. Senior captain Ayrton Graziano and sophomores Gavin Bateman and Sawyer Sheets played inspired games and highlighted a stingy Irish defense. Junior Liam Fahey had an excellent scoring chance denied in the closing minutes of the game. The Irish travel to Greenfield Central on Thursday.
