Knights Battle Bulldogs

The MPS U13 Knights fell 0-7 to their sister team, the MPS U13 Bulldogs at Citizens Bank Field in Lancaster this evening.

The Knights have drawn a difficult early season schedule with their first two games coming against the Bulldogs, who are leading the New England Super-Y division with a 5-0 record, and the Ottawa Fury, who now stand at 4-0. They travel to New York on Saturday to face the 0-1-2 Black Watch team, who also drew Ottawa and the Bulldogs early for their two losses.

The Knights only spent aboout 5 minutes on offense when Jared was playing, so the highlight reel is limited. Jared had a few good charges including a shot on goal and drawing a corner kick and an direct kick for the team.
