PCA's Machonga-to-Ross connection not enough to overcome Liggett on Tuesday

  Plymouth Christian Academy freshman mid-fielder Dan Ross tallied a pair of goals -- both assisted by senior forward Jordan Machonga -- but it wasn't enough for the Eagles who dropped a 4-2 decision to University of Liggett Tuesday afternoon at PCA.

  "Overall, the game went very well, but I was a little disappointed with a few of the breakdowns we had on defense," said PCA coach Larry Machonga.

  Liggett scored on its first offensive shot, however, Ross deadlocked the game at 1-all a short time later.

  "Dan found the back of the net with a beautiful low shot that had great precision," recounted Machonga.

  Liggett seized a 2-1 advantage after converting a penalty kick that resulted from a questionable call from the center referee.

  Ross struck again at 2-2, but Liggett hammered home the game-winner with approximately 16 minutes to play.

  Liggett's fourth goal came with 30 seconds left on a counter offensive following a deep PCA throw-in.
