MAPLE CITY — A lot can change in three days.
Leland proved that Saturday, beating state Division 4 powerhouse Muskegon Western Michigan Christian 1-0 in a game on Glen Lake’s field.
Three days prior, the Comets (1-1) lost 3-1 to North Muskegon, a team Muskegon WMC beat 4-1. WMC won 4-0 Friday against Traverse City Christian.
“That team over the last six or seven years has been a major foe, in both the regular season and playoffs,” Leland head coach Rob Sirrine said of Muskegon WMC. “It’s always nice to get a win against them.”
Senior Daniel Resendiz-Nunez scored the game’s only goal (although the Comets had another waived off as offside) in the first half on a left-footed shot from 20 yards out.
“Daniel is a workhorse,” Sirrine said. “We’ve been getting on the kids about dribbling too much. They did well with one-touch passing.”
Freshman goaltender Ravell Smith recorded the shutout.
WMC is 2-4 but loaded the front of its schedule against Division 1 programs and other top teams.
Leland doesn’t have any home games scheduled until mid-September, coincidentally hosting TC Christian. The Comets, who visit Gaylord on Tuesday, play their first nine contests on the road or at a neutral site.
