NHS drowns VPS
By Misty Volaski

On either side of the weekend of the 18th and 19th, Nordhoff had a pair of games with different results. In another matchup with Oaks Christian (this time for Frontier League marbles) Nordhoff fell to Oaks though the Rangers battled back from a 6-3 halftime deficit to tie the game 7-7 at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

In the first quarter, Nordhoff was down, four goals to two. The second quarter found Nordhoff in much of the same position, still down, 6-3. However, by the third quarter, the Rangers had rallied back to a one-point deficit, thanks to Matt Miller and Ben Foley's goals.
Despite Pat Kelley and Foley's three goals each during the game, Oaks Christian overpowered Nordhoff, 11-8. The loss dropped Nordhoff to a 5-12 record.

However, the Rangers got back in their game against VIllanova, besting them, 16-2. VPS's goals came off of Bill Black and James Howard. Again, Foley led the Rangers with six goals, followed by Travis Moore, who added four and Pat Kelley, who added two.

Nordhoff also had one-goal contributions from Tyler Buckingham, Brad Crombie, Miller and Logan Chambers. To date, NHS goalkeeper Javier Garza has stopped 245 bals in 18 games.

The boys will battle at Malibu today, varsity at 3:15, junior varsity at 4:15 and frosh/soph at 5 p.m.
