CADEN BOIKE’S HAT TRICK LEADS PIRATES TO 4-0 WIN OVER MESABI EAST ON SENIOR DAY

Soccer Team

The Crookston Pirate Boys Soccer team hosted the Mesabi East Area Giants on Saturday morning on Senior Day. The Pirates were honoring their four seniors Thor Harbott, Nathan Kelly, Gavin Winger, and Elliot Bartrum. Crookston’s Caden Boike scored three goals and the defense shut down the Giants for a 4-0 victory.

FIRST HALF –
The Pirates offense was effective early on, with multiple scoring chances, and eventually, Crookston would break through ten minutes into the match with Caden Boike finding the back of the net for a 1-0 Pirates lead. Much of the first half was played in the middle third the remainder of the way, but with ten minutes remaining in the opening half, Caden Boike drove into the box and fired a shot past the Giants goalkeeper for his second goal of the match. That would give Crookston a 2-0 lead heading into the halftime break. Blake Melsa also made a couple of nice plays in net for Crookston keeping Mesabi East off the scoreboard.

SECOND HALF –
Mesabi East would have some chances early in the second half to pull within one goal, but the Pirates defense was strong and they were able to preserve the lead. Halfway through the half Caden Boike would complete his hat trick with another goal giving Crookston a 3-0 lead. Ashton Shockman would add one more goal for the Pirates with six minutes remaining in the match on a beautiful kick that sailed into the top left corner past the goalkeeper. After that Crookston would cruise the rest of the way for an impressive 4-0 win on Senior Day.

Crookston improves to 4-9 on the season and will host East Grand Forks on Tuesday to wrap up the regular season.
