Christian Liberty a perfect 10

Christian Liberty continues to dazzle its opponents on the pitch.

Thursday afternoon, the Chargers (10-0-0, 2-0-0) rolled over visiting Roycemore from Evanston 6-0. Three second-half goals in 13 minutes officially put an end to the upset hopes of the visiting Griffins (0-4-0), who fought hard for 80 minutes.

But they were no match for the firepower of the Chargers, and the magic of senior Kiefer Bennett, who recorded 6 helpers on the day.

“The biggest reason for our turnaround (and) success this season has to be the additon of Luke (Comerouski), who is a true finisher,” said Bennett, who has watched his teammate strike for an area-high 25 goals in the first 10 matches of the season.

“Luke has helped make everyone around him a better player, and our team more dangerous when we’re going forward, and between (him), Mike (Hennek) and David Colbert, we’ve got some guys now who can put the ball into the back of the net.”

Bennett, who now has 14 assists on the season, helped jump-start a Chargers’ attack which was stale in the early stages, when he sent sophomore Travis Bennett a lovely ball to finish at seven minutes.

The Bennett boys were the architects of the first of 2 goals by Colbert — when the junior striker sneaked his shot just inside the post at 37 minutes.

Sixty seconds later, the home-side increased its lead on another Colbert goal, his eighth of the season, when on a counter, and against the run of play, Travis Bennett’s superb serve from the left side found the foot of Colbert at the back post.

“We struggled a little at the start of the match today, but I (still) thought we possessed really well, even then, but didn’t do as good of a job with the ball in the final third,” said Chargers coach Jed Bennett.

Comerouski would add to the Chargers lead at 42 and 43 minutes, and later, sophomore Oscar Kravic put some icing on the cake when he finished Travis Bennett’s final helper in the 55th minute.

The Chargers’ backline of Michael Milkowski, Tom Salsgiver and Noah Johnson had its hands full with a couple of talented players in Randy Hewitt and Michael Mahung. But the trio stayed organized, and tackled well, especially the Griffins best player in Hewitt, to help preserve the shutout for Jack Salsgiver.
