The Hillcrest boys’ soccer team bounced back from their exhausting OT tie with the Lumberjacks Monday in Bemidji to defeat the Pelican Rapids Vikings on Tuesday by the score of 5-1.

Six minutes into the game Isak Ostevold scored off an assist from Abram Ness.  Four minutes later Isak returned the favor and assisted an Abram Ness goal.  Isak Ostevold scored again at 35 minutes off an assist from Rolf Fluge.  PRHS countered with a goal, just before the half ended, with an attack up the left side and a cross into the box to an unmarked Viking attacker, ending the half with the Comets up 3-1.

Six minutes into the second half, Abram Ness scored his second goal of the contest unassisted, pressuring the backs and recovering a Comet rebound.  The final goal of the contest came at 65 minutes.  Mateus Gjerme, attacking up the left side line placed a perfect cross to the right side of the box, where Abram Ness was, placing a beautiful volley shot into the back of the Viking net, achieving a hat trick, ending all scoring with the Comets up 5-1.

The Comets had 12 shots on goal compared to the Vikings 6.

The Comets saw excellent defensive efforts from Drew Fischer and Matthew Knutson, both eliminating most of the Viking attacks.  Left back, Elias Skjelbred, contributed to the Comet attack with several over lapping attacks.

The Comets now 4-3-1 travel to Prinsburg on Thursday for a section match up against Central Minnesota Christian.
