Garfield 1; Newton Falls 1 @ Garfield.

Saturday, 8/23/14. The game started out looking like Garfield would run away with it. They were dominating possession and shots on goal, although the Newton Falls goalie was saving everything that came his way. Garfield finally scored when senior Noah Reider assisted senior Ante Dejanovic with about 28 minutes left in the first half. The lead was short lived though because Garfield got called for a foul on the outside edge of the box near the corner, and Newton Falls was awarded a Penalty kick in which they converted to tie the game 1 to 1.

That turned out to be the final score, as Garfield rattled shots off of the posts and had many near misses. Garfield put 17 shots on goal to Newton Falls four, but they couldn't find the back of the net. Garfield also had an advantage on corner kicks, taking four to Newton Falls one. Garfield's record is now 1-0-1 overall and 1-0 in the PTC (Portage Trail Conference).
