The Manistee soccer team snapped a two-game skid Tuesday with a thorough 7-0 Lakes 8 Conference win over Orchard View.
In doing so, the Chippewas (4-5) also broke out of their goalless drought from the past two outings.
Manistee’s Jack Holtgren led the way with two goals and three assists while Mason Adamski added two goals and both Luke Smith and Grant Schlaff had a goal and an assist to their names.
In control of possession most of the game, Manistee peppered the Cardinals all evening long, outshooting the opposition 18-4 in the first half alone en route to a 4-0 advantage at the break. The Chippewas went on to fire 30 on goal in total.
“We jumped right out in the first five minutes tonight,” said Manistee coach Brandon Prince. “And then we just stayed with it; stayed patient, didn’t force anything, and just possessed the ball until those opportunities came to us.
“Possession is where it starts and where it ends for us.”
Holtgren fed Adamski for a goal just three and a half minutes into the contest, and the Chippewas never looked back.
The two connected again less than two minutes later to give Manistee a 2-0 lead at 34:55.
Holtgren spread the wealth at 8:35, this time assisting on a Schlaff goal at 8:35 for a 3-0 lead.
Just over a minute later, Evan Dalke made good on a breakaway goal, assisted by Smith, to make it 4-0 before the break.
“That’s our style,” Prince said of getting contributions from a number of players. “It doesn’t matter who scores it: it’s a cooperative effort to get the finish.”
The Chippewas kept it rolling in the second half, as Holtgren added a goal to his stat line at 34:42 for a commanding 5-0 lead.
Holtgren found the back of the net again via a penalty kick to make it 6-0 at 25:21.
The Chippewas kept the pressure coming as Smith scored a breakaway goal, assisted by Dominic Valencia, at 15:44 for the 7-0 mark that would hold up as the final score.
“It’s good to see the finishes tonight,” Prince said. “We had opportunities in both of our last two games, but we just didn’t put them in.
“To see some of those same opportunities arise in this game, and to finish them like we should, hopefully that can carry into the rest of the season, heading toward the district tournament.
“We just have to finish those goals more consistently.”
