Hornets overwhelm Cards
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).
The Bryant Hornets’ soccer team closed out its pre-Spring Break schedule by breezing past the Camden Fairview Cardinals 8-0 on Friday, March 17.
Nick Harbert scored three goals and Josh Ault added two as the Hornets improved to 6-3 overall and 4-1 in conference play.
Actually, the Hornets didn’t get in the scoring column until about 20 minutes into the match.
“But we were well in control of the situation for almost all of the match,” stated volunteer head coach Bob Williams. “Camden had one good opportunity when a strong clearance of a ball at midfield rebounded off one of their players to another who then had a breakaway opportunity 50 yards from the goal with no Bryant players between him and the goal. But pressure from behind forced him to take a shot from too far out and it was well covered by our keeper.”
Josh Toopes, Josh Williams and Casey Jacuzzi each added goals for the Hornets.
Bryant’s scheduled game against Little Rock J.A. Fair on Friday, March 24, has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date. The Hornets’ next outing will be April 4 at Hot Springs Lakeside.
