The varsity boys soccer team faced off against a Chagrin Valley Conference Metro Division rival, the Wickliffe Blue Devils two days ago. The Canes came in with a record of 2-8, and in their last game, they “earned” a forfeit victory against Garfield Heights. Wickliffe, however, has a record of 2-5 and was coming off of a 3-0 loss to Independence.
With similarities across the board, both teams were evenly matched; however, the game did not go the Hurricanes way.
The first 10 minutes of the first half, the contest was quiet with no offensive action. But then, the Blue Devils went on a rampage and scored four goals within seven minutes. Later on in minute 21, the visitors scored their fifth goal followed by their sixth in minute 30.
They did not stop there. The Blue Devils kept their momentum going by scoring two more goals near the end of the first half, making the score 8-0.
From an early tie to a first half slaughter, the Blue Devils came to play.
The Canes had a chance to score at the end of the first half with a penalty shot, but the kick was just off. Going into the half, the score remained 8-0.
In the second half, Wickliffe went quiet and scoreless, but the Hurricanes finally got on the board with a goal midway through the half from senior Ihor Muran.
The rest of the game did not produce much action, and as time ran out, the Wickliffe Blue Devils secured an 8-1 victory.
The Hurricanes record now stands at 2-8, while Wickliffe improved to 3-5.
Up next, the boys travel to Clearview today for a 5:00 start.
In other Fall sports, the girls varsity volleyball team takes on the Trinity Trojans at home today at 6:30, with the freshman and JV contests beforehand at 4:30 and 5:30.

Finally, the football team travels to Beachwood tomorrow night, kickoff is at 7:00.
Go Canes!
