The 2nd goal came from a quick counter attack with Isenburg and Isaac Lorenz. Isenburg drew the defense and played the ball to Lorenz who beat the defenders, but was fouled in the penalty box. Lorenz beat the goalie on the PK shot to take the 2-0 lead. The third goal came from an Ethan Zeiser assist to Jackson Jones, who put a great left foot shot into the corner.
The Braves are now 3-0 on the season and have yet to give up a goal. The next match will be on Tuesday vs North Miami at home.
