Greensburg hosted Union County on Saturday for a girls and boys double header. In game 2 with the boys teams facing off, the Pirates beat the Patriots 6-2 for the Pirates first win of the season. Senior Grayson Newhart started the scoring off for the Pirates in the 7th minute of the game off of an assist from freshman, Cy Miller. Newhart would find the back of the net less than 5 minutes later, this time on an assist from freshman defender, Joey Yake. In the 16th minute, freshman John Robbins found Cy Miller for the game’s 3rd goal, while in the 28th minute, Grayson Newhart was able to complete his hat trick off of an assist from Luke Hellmich. An own goal pushed the score to 5-0 in favor of the Pirates in the 29th minute. The final goal for the Pirates saw Luke Hellmich register his 2nd assist of the game to Cy Miller, which made for Cy’s second goal of the game. This is the third straight game where Luke Hellmich has assisted a Cy Miller goal. The Pirates led 6-0 at halftime and the Patriots were able to score two goals in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the halftime deficit. Cy Miller’s 2 goals and assist give him 9 total points on the season, leading the Pirates. The win puts the Pirates at 1-2 (0-1 EIAC) through 3 games.
