The St. Anthony soccer team dropped a 6-0 decision at home Thursday to Newton.

Reilly Ashton had three shots on goal and Will Swingler had two. Goalie Ivan Dong had 13 saves.

The Bulldogs will play Saturday at Pana.

It took a while to get going, but the St. Anthony Bulldogs kicked it into high gear during the second half.

Luke Swingler scored three of the four second-half goals to help the Bulldogs rally from a halftime deficit and post a 4-2 win at home Thursday over Harrisburg.

“At halftime, we made some formation changes and they paid off,” said St. Anthony soccer coach Martin Reyes.

Three minutes into the second half Luke Swingler scored his first goal off an assist from Reilly Ashton, who then put St. Anthony ahead for good with a goal of his own. At the 19-minute mark, Grace Hakman made a nice pass right in front of the net and Swingler kicked it home to make it 3-1.

With just three minutes remaining, Swingler then recorded the “hat trick” after taking a long pass from Jack Elder.

“We started a little slow, but we’re missing some key players – like Wade Lawrence and Will Swingler – because of injury,” Reyes noted. “But Reilly and Jack took control of mid-field and Trey Brummer and Grace Hakman worked the wings. Grace has really grown into the position. She is great at defense and is developing into an offensive weapon.”

St. Anthony will play at St. Teresa Saturday.

Altamont broke a halftime tie with two second-half goals Tuesday afternoon, en route to a 3-1 soccer victory at home over St. Anthony.

The Bulldogs finished with seven shots on goal and goalie Ivan Dong recorded 14 saves.

Hillsboro scored on a deflected kick in the second half Saturday and managed to post a 2-2 tie with St. Anthony.

Twenty minutes into the first half, Hillsboro took a 1-0 lead. Less than a minute later, Will Swingler made a nice pass to Reilly Ashton, who scored on a header to tie the match.

With two minutes remaining in the opening half, that same combination struck again. Swingler made a nice corner kick and Ashton found the back of the net, giving the Bulldogs a 2-1 edge at intermission.

Ashton finished with two goals, six steals and six shots, while Will Swingler had two assists, five corner kicks and two shots on goal. Jack Elder and Will Fonner both had six steals and goalies Ivan Dong recorded 10 saves and Ivan Daiber two.

“We are playing well and the team is developing chemistry,” said St. Anthony coach Martin Reyes. “I’m looking forward to see how we do when our players get healthy.”
