Defense makes two first-half goals stand up as Bryant boys secure first win
EDITOR’S NOTE: Because the look back at each day in Bryant athletic history has been so favorably received during the time when there was no sports during the COVID-19 shutdown, BryantDaily.com will continue posting past stories of Bryant athletics either posted on BryantDaily.com (from 2009 to the present) or published in the Bryant Times (from 1998 to 2008).
LITTLE ROCK — James Lasley and Brian Resendez each had first-half goals and the Bryant Hornets defense made it hold up for a 2-1 win over the Little Rock Christian Warriors on Thursday night. It was the team’s first win of the season for new head coach Richard Friday.
Lasley scored in the 20th minute and Resendez followed up eight minutes later.
“The back line of Dalton Bryant, Luke Welch, and Jack Selig were dominant,” Friday said. “(Goal-keeper) John Sohn made some fantastic saves to secure the win.”
Now 1-0-1, the Hornets head to Fort Smith this weekend for a tournament. They’ll open on Friday against Fayetteville.
