On Saturday night, the Tulip City United team tied with the Grand Haven Admirals 1-1. The point keeps the Tulips near the top of the table in the Midwest Premier League standings. The first half was back and forth with both teams having momentum at different times. Tulip City United was able to push forward just before halftime when forward Nick Kubert rocketed a shot off the side post and Jordan Walker converted the ricochet to give Holland’s club the 1-0 lead. Tulip City United played better in the second half aided by the defensive pressure from midfielders Levi Crooks, Ethan Jansen, and Grant Hofland. In stoppage time, a foul just outside the top of the box gave the Admirals one last opportunity, which they converted to create the final 1-1 score. “It was a tense battle with a lot of emotion,” said the Tulip City United coach Greg Ceithaml. “I was happy with the way we played. We did everything we had to do to win. We have to learn how to close out games.” The T.C.U. soccer club will travel to the Cedars FC in Dearborn, MI next Sunday.
