The Crookston Pirate Boys Soccer team took a 1-0 lead early in the game, but Detroit Lakes had three unanswered goals to win the game 3-1 in a Section 8A matchup in Detroit Lakes. 

Crookston had a good start to the game when Crookston had a corner kick and the ball bounced around and Evan Christensen kicked it toward Alex Longoria and he redirected the ball in front of the net and scored about 18 minutes into the game for a 1-0 lead. “That was a nice play,” said Pirate Coach Lon Boike. “It was a good start and everybody was excited.”
The lead was short-lived as Detroit Lakes answered with a goal three minutes later to tie the game at 1-1.  “We were feeling pretty good at halftime,” said Coach Boike. “We played well and were right there.”

In the second half, Crookston goalkeeper, Caden Boike came up with a huge save about 10 minutes into the half on a penalty kick to keep the game tied at 1-1. “We tackled a guy in the box to give them a penalty shot,” said Coach Boike. “Caden made a nice save to keep the game tied and that was big at the time.” 
10 minutes later, Detroit Lakes fired a long shot that snuck into the inside corner of the net for a 2-1 lead.  “They Five minutes later, Detroit Lakes added another goal on a penalty kick for a 3-1 lead that neither team scored the rest of the game as the Lakers held on for a 3-1 victory.  “I thought we played very well overall.  It was a really good game.  We had several scoring chances, but couldn’t get it past the goalie, who made some nice saves,” said Coach Boike. “We are showing great improvement as the season progresses and that is all we can ask for.  We played well and we were thrilled with how well we played.”
