Congratulations to the Comstock boys soccer season on a terrific season. Although the Colts found themselves on the wrong side of a 3 - 1 game, they had plenty of reasons to be proud. The game was well played with two evenly matched teams. The Hunter Vorva opened scoring by pouncing on a rebound and placing it into the back of the net.

9-30 - Comstock 0 - Plainwell 8
The Comstock soccer team lost a tough game to Plainwell last night. Despite being behind on the scoreboard, the Colts fought hard until the final whistle.

9-27 - Comstock 5 - Gobles 2

9-11 - Comstock 4 - Vicksburg 5 OT
The Colts' soccer team played a barnburner of a game last night against Vicksburg. After a sloppy start the team responded to score twice in the second half. With the whistle blown to end the second half, the team found itself tied 3 -3. That meant overtime. The Colts endured another 20 minutes of overtime before the outcome was decided. Although the Colts lost 5 - 4 to Vicksburg, they put on an absolute show. The Colts gave everything they had for 100 minutes, and refused to back down. A lot of players deserve recognition including Garrett Green (who very rarely made the wrong decision), Saleh Hasan (who scored twice), and Mason House (who got his first career varsity soccer goal).
9-9 - Comstock 2 - Bangor 2
The guys soccer team played to a 2 - 2 tie with Bangor. Hunter Vorva and Saleh Hasan each scored a goal for the Colts. When the game was over the team had played to a very well-earned tie.

9-5 - Comstock 6 - Bloomingdale 3
The Colts guys soccer team beat Bloomingdale by a score of 6 - 3. This truly was a team effort as 4 of the 6 goals were assisted. This team effort, however, was highlighted by some individual brilliance. Special recognition goes to Ulises Del Moral who broke a Comstock Boys Soccer record by scoring 4 goals in the game (while also adding an assist).
9-4 - Comstock 0 - Dowagiac 2
The Comstock soccer team went toe-to-toe with Dowagiac. The game turned out to be an even match as both teams exchanged chances on goal. Although the game ended up as a 2 - 0 loss for the colts there was certainly nothing to hang their heads about. Every player gave everything they had, but special recognition deserves to go to Mason Groll and Bryan Moore who anchored the defense while playing every minute of a physically challenging game.
8-30 - Comstock 1 - Pennfield - 1
8-28 - Comstock 4 - Galesburg-Augusta 2
After finding themselves in a 2 - 0 hole at halftime the Colts dug deep and played their best soccer to date. This truly was a team effort as the ball was zipped around the field with short smart passes. By dominating possession and working the ball around the Colts were able to tie the game after getting two goals from Saleh Hasan. Mere minutes later the Colts had a two goal lead after goals from Ulises Del Moral and Garrett Green. That was enough for the defense as they rode that scoreline for a 4 - 2 win.
8-26 - Comstock 3 - Three Rivers 1
With the game tied 1 - 1 for most of the game and only 20 minutes remaining, Hunter Vorva broke the deadlock with a nice finish close to goal. A few minutes later Saleh Hasan put the game to rest by scoring another great goal. After that the defense was more than able to see out the end of the game for a well-deserved 3 - 1 win. Ulises Del Moral scored the first goal and Vlad Promskyy added three assists for the Colts.
