Written by Lee Roggenburg on . Posted in .
Attackmen Tyler Kuhlman and Patrick Oporto led the Wolverines in a comeback win against the Palm Beach Gardens Gators 14-11. The Wolverines led 4-3 at the half, but the Gators (behind goals scored by Steven Smith and Patrick Shea) pulled ahead 9-7 to end the 3rd quarter. The 4th quarter saw both teams exchanging goals, then the Wolverines seemed to find their rhythm  A take away by middie Thomas Oporto led to a fast break pass to Tyler Kuhlman who scored and this seemed to fire up the Wolverines on senior night.  The Woverines continued to add goals, finally pulling out the win 14-11. Scoring for the Wolverines were Tyler Kuhlman and Patrick Oporto (4 goals each), Thomas Oporto 3 goals, and Allen Moye, Chris Sullivan and David Henry each adding one a piece. Steven Smith scored five goals for Palm Beach Central. Districts begin Tuesday.
