Baker v. Murphy

031309

In this game of unbeaten teams in Section 1, the Panters jumped out to an early lead off a header on a corner kick from Carlo Schick with a Michael Taylor assist.  

Later, Atem Kout was fouled in the box by the Baker keeper on a breakaway and Michael Taylor got the call to take the penalty kick.  Taylor put the ball in the right upper 90 and gave the Panthers a solid 2-0 lead. 

With the speedy Jonathan Kondis working very hard to get those goals back much of the game was up and down the field.  Baker had their opportunities but solid play in the goal by Paul McDonald kept the Hornets out of the back of the net except for one corner kick by Baker in which the ball was put in the back of the net by Kondis. 

The win over Baker puts Murphy in the lead in the Section 1 race with Davidson up next.
