James Balancia with another solid defensive play resulting in turnover and Tristan Wachtel groundball to end the quarter! 5-1 Somers after 1.

James Balancia gets on the board. The athletic midfielder scooped up a GB and ran through multiple defenders for an “and 1” goal (he was fouled on the play). 10-4 Somers.

Defensive middies don’t always get the attention they deserve but Luca Ploger (LSM) and James Balancia are two tenacious and athletic players.
