The Greenfield boys' soccer team entered Tuesday night's matchup with Shorewood determined to end a long scoring drought that stretched back to 2019. The Hawks set a strong tone early, matching the tough Shorewood squad in energy and possession, but it was the visitors who struck first, carrying a 1-0 lead into halftime.

The second half brought a quick flurry from Shorewood, who netted three goals in the opening 15 minutes to build a steep 4-0 advantage. The sudden swing from a tightly contested game to a wide margin could have deflated many teams, but Greenfield refused to fold.

Late in the match, the Hawks reignited their attack. A perfectly timed header from Jacoby Denk set up Logan Xiong, who buried the shot to finally snap the program's five-year scoring drought against Shorewood. That goal fueled a late surge of pressure and composure in the final third, signaling the team's resilience and offensive potential.

Although the 4-1 final favored Shorewood, Greenfield left the pitch with heads held high—proud of their fight, their breakthrough goal, and the promise they showed for the games ahead. The Hawks now look to light up the scoreboard tonight at home against South Milwaukee for Parents Night, with kickoff at 4:30 p.m.
