Wawasee Sports Wrap – Sept. 15
Kasem Abdullah scored a pair of goals to lead the East Noble Knights to a 4-0 win at Wawasee Saturday afternoon.
Abdullah scored his first as the only goal of the opening 40 minutes, assisted on the play by Abdullah Ahmed. His second goal came in the second half, assisted by Mason Diffenderfer. Matt Patton and Kam Wible also added goals for the Knights, which move to 8-3 this season.
The loss drops the Warriors to 2-7-2 and face a very heavy Northern Lakes Conference slate in the coming weeks.
“The first half we looked OK, but not great,” stated Wawasee head coach Tom Taylor. “The second half, we quit! The other team wanted it more than we did.”
