ARNOLD, Md. - No. 2 Harford utilized a quick start to down the Anne Arundel Riverhawks, 14-9, Tuesday afternoon at Siegert Field.

The Fighting Owls five first quarter goals were the difference for the afternoon. Trevor Sousa sparked the big opener with a man up goal to begin the first, then Jack Bauer picked up his only score of the day a minute later. Sophomore attacker Nate Surd took over from there, scoring three straight goals to put Harford up 5-0 after the first 15 minutes.

Anne Arundel and Harford were deadlocked in the last three quarters, scoring three goals in each. The Riverhawks best stretch came towards the end of the second and beginning of the third, scoring three to pull within four. Fernando Robison and Caden Cote put any inkling of a comeback to rest, as both scored to put the Fighting Owls up six.

Back-to-back goals by Anne Arundel placed them back within four of a tie midway through the third, but Cote stepped up once again to stop the momentum. The Riverhawks kicked off the scoring in final quarter, but Harford went on to score three of the last five goals of the game to seal the victory.

Harford improves to 2-0 (1-0 MD JUCO) with the win, while Anne Arundel falters to 1-4 (0-3).
