Tigers kick win streak to five

Howards Grove ran its winning streak to five with a 4-0 victory over visiting Kiel in nonconference boys soccer Saturday morning.

Senior forward Duston Rabe scored a hat trick (three goals) to ignite the Tigers’ attack. One of Rabe’s goals was on a penalty kick. Paul Elzinga converted a penalty kick for the other tally.

“Our boys started off a bit flat. They remained focused, and after a couple of penalty kicks they were able to find some openings to take advantage of,” said Tiger head coach Todd Fischer whose team improved to 6-1.

“I am very proud that they have a never-give-up attitude.”

Robert Betke and Chris Niemann contributed one assist each. Tiger goalkeeper Carter Rockhill had five saves. Howards led in shots on goal, 10-5.
