Dragons Soccer Eliminate Wolves from Playoffs

Written Thursday October 18th, at 11:25 PM


The Lake Orion Dragons men’s soccer team got some revenge in soccer on Thursday night in Oxford against arch rival Clarkston.

The Dragons overcame a 1-0 halftime deficit to stun the Wolves 2-1 and will now face Grand Blanc on Saturday morning at Oxford.

First year coach Curtis Payment knew that this team had it in them. “Quite a game, we’ve had this potential in us. It was time for it to come on the big state” he added.

That big player that came to play was Russell Reichenbach.

Down 1-0, Reichenbach played the ball deep into Clarkston territory then found Allen Karrip who beat the goalie and found an empty net with 18:43 left in the game tying the score 1-1.

Reichenbach would then strike again, less than two minutes later by scoring on a penalty kick making it 2-1 Dragons. “He’s been a big part of our team this year. He just hasn’t had the production. He finally got what he deserved through some hard work tonight” Payment said.

The Dragons now earn a match with the Bobcats in Oxford, anything is possible in the playoffs and we’ll see what happens.
