Unatego 3, Norwich 1

NORWICH – After spotting Norwich an early lead, Unatego finished with three unanswered goals in Thursday’s contest at Norwich.

Gird Ceno scored four minutes into the game for Norwich before Jonathan Forte knotted the game 15 minutes before halftime. Nate Kafchinski and Jasper Humphries had unassisted goals in the second half for Unatego with Humphries connecting from 25 yards out on a beautiful one-touch shot. “I though we pretty much controlled the first half,” said Norwich assistant coach Adam Sprague. “We came out a little flat in the second half, and (Unatego) was able to poke in two goals.”

Norwich hosts Delhi Saturday at 7 p.m.
