Hawk’s Soccer wins game against Burnet 3-1

Canyon Lake Soccer team evened their record last Tuesday when they went on the road and beat Burnet, 3-1.

The Hawks are young this year but the 2-2 record indicates just how much potential this team might have as both losses were lost in the final minutes.

“A win at this point of the year helps build confidence,” Head Soccer Coach Warren Graham stated. “It’s especially important when the game is a close game because it allows the boys to see what they need to do to be able to close out games.”

Coach has zeroed in those losses during this campaign as both of those contests were lost at the finish.

             GO HAWKS!!

GO HAWKS!!

Canyon Lake will be traveling to Navarro this Tuesday as the district schedule is getting started during the first round of games.

The Hawk Ladies will have a tough game as they lost their first district game last Saturday against Gonzales.

The Lady Panthers are undefeated in district so far sporting a 3-0 record with a 16-7 season.

This will be a tough game to turn the table for Canyon Lake as they have been suffering on the offensive side of the court in points as that has become a precious commodity during the past few games.

CL had several players that were not available for their tournament and last week’s game with Gonzales.

That alone should make Canyon Lake more competitive for Tuesday’s contest.
