The Varsity boys team opened its 2017 campaign with a hard earned win versus a tough Thomas Dale unit. Thomas Dale's Myers opened the scoring with a well-placed shot into the left corner, before Forward Keatts found the back of the net to pull Manchester even 1-1. Forward Tim Kerns followed with an accurate finish to put the Lancers on top 2-1, and Left Back Ryan Greenawalt finished the Team's scoring with a nice shot from distance to put the team up 3-1 where the score remained to close out the first half. Dale pulled within one during half two, but the defense remained stingy as it withstood a furious attack by the Knights throughout the second half.  The Lancer offense went back to work and applied pressure on Dale’s defense, and came close to connecting with a couple of solid opportunities, but was not able to convert. Keeper Martin Torres played big and made several nice saves to help preserve the win. Well earned!
