The Irish traveled to perennial power North Central to take on the Panthers Friday night. The first half was a defensive battle with neither team creating chances. Sophomore GK Jett Wallmeier stymied the NC attack coming off his line to collect multiple crosses into the box. Senior forward Josh Wesseling went on a great solo run deep into the 2nd half only to see his shot beat the NC goalie but bounce off the side post and go wide. The Panthers finally broke through with under 5 minutes to play after a series of Irish defensive mistakes to win the game 1-0. The Irish next take on Detroit Country Day School from Beverly Hill, Michigan on Saturday.
