by Soccer Coach Art Schmich
The Berlin boys varsity soccer team defeated New Lebanon in double overtime 1 to 0 on a game winning goal by Cody Seel. This was the league opener for both teams.
Berlin controlled the beginning of the game defensively until midway in the first half when New Lebanon started to take over the game and had several scoring opportunities but were turned away by the goalkeeping of Mike Reger, who had 17 saves in goal.
The second half was back and forth with New Lebanon getting most of the scoring opportunities. Berlin’s best chance was a shot by Seel that hit the cross bar.
The game was well played by both teams, and both teams demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship for a game that was highly competitive.
Berlin is 1 and 0 in CHVL play and 1 and 2 overall. New Lebanon is 0 and 1 in CHVL play and 1 and 2 overall.
