BURLINGTON – The Central Lee Hawks boys' soccer team gave up a 1-0 halftime lead and fell to Burlington Notre Dame 2-1 Monday night at Notre Dame.
Landan Lowenberg got things going for Central Lee not quite 10 minutes into the game when he scored off an assist from Beau Boyd.
The Hawks defense would hold the Nikes in check the entire first half with Hunter Gregory in the net.
However, the Nikes would find their way in the second half scoring two goals in the first five minutes to take a 2-1 lead from which the Hawks couldn't recover.
Notre Dame scored at 38:35 and again just four minutes later at 34:59.
Gregory had 12 saves in the match.
Central Lee (5-7, 4-4) will get a chance at revenge on Friday night when the two teams clash again at Notre Dame in the semifinals of the SEI Superconference tournament. For 2023 only, the SEISC tournament is just a four-team affair with no consolation game due to the close proximity to substate action, which kicks off Monday. Next year SEISC officials said the dates for the tournament will change and the event will go back to an 8-team event with consolation matches.
Mediapolis takes on Columbus in the other SEISC pairing. The winners will face each other Saturday at Wapello.
