East Ridge at Simley
7 p.m., Thursday, April 20


After suiting up six freshmen last season, East Ridge is armed with a returning roster that features 19 players who saw varsity acton in 2016.

Leading the pack will be senior attacker Nathan Scott, who scored 12 goals and totaled 22 points last season. Junior midfielder Joey Arndt (19 goals) and sophomore midfielder Jack Mohler (17 goals, 25 ground balls) are also back for the Raptors. 

Mohler's defense will be tested by Simley senior attacker Carson Schwark, who returns after recording 42 goals and 56 points, and junior midfielder Jakob Myers (20 goals).

Out of the seven losses suffered by the Spartans last season, three were by just one goal. 

East Ridge edged Simley 13-10 in last year's Section 3 quarterfinals behind Mohler's three-goal, six-point performance. Schwark tallied four goals in the matchup.
