Chiefs defuse Rockets in big way, 8-0


Sept. 15, 2010, 3:45 p.m.


  Mitch Posuniak scored a pair of goals to lead Canton's soccer team to an emphatic 8-0 triumph over Westland John Glenn Tuesday night.

  The Chiefs, who host Livonia Franklin on Thursday night, are now 7-2-1 overall and 2-1 in the KLAA South Division.

  Canton struck early and often, getting goals from Posuniak (from Connor Shennan) and Kyle Krause from Bobby Budlong) in the game's opening four minutes. Krause's net-finder was his first varsity goal.

  Budlong tallied his team-high sixth goal in the game's 12th minute, heading in a cross from Posuniak.

  Eleven minutes later, Bryan Ren scored an unassisted marker off a direct kick to make it 4-0.

  Scott Piwowar (from Garrett Derian-Toth), Posuniak (from Dan Ovesea) and Sean Balnaves (penalty shot) closed out the first-half scoring for the Chiefs.

  The game ended six minutes into the second half on Nathan Bergeson's goal from Connor Furgason, whose through ball carried 20 yards before Bergeson's shot.

  Seniors Brandon Laabs and Garren Carr shared the shutout. Each keeper made a couple of diving saves to preserve the goose egg.
