Greencastle-Antrim 2, Boiling Springs 1: The Blue Devils remained unbeaten, but it took an overtime goal by Noah Parks to capture a Mid Penn Colonial victory over the Bubblers on the road Thursday night.

Boiling Springs held a 1-0 lead at halftime after a breakaway goal.

“We looked like a team coming off a game the night before,” Greencastle coach Aric Bruner said. “We were missing some guys and we knew Boiling Springs was better than its record.”

Just 1:27 into the second half, after a foul outside the box, Caleb Baine fed Andrew Bowers with a pass and he slotted home the tying goal for the Blue Devils (9-0-1, 8-0 MPC). In OT, Bowers took a free kick from near midfield and Parks knocked the ball into the goal.

Bruner said, “We made some key adjustments in the second half, mainly Parks up top and letting him pressure the defense with his speed.”
