BUCKS STUMBLE IN K-ZOO
Bucks Fail to Capitalize on Opportunities Against Kingdom, 2-1 After a tough loss against the Chicago Fire Reserves last Saturday, the Michigan Bucks hoped to bounce back with a win against the Kalamazoo Kingdom. However, a win for the Bucks on Wednesday night would not be in the cards. Kalamazoo defended well and finished their scoring chances in a 2-1 win over the Bucks, goals for the Kingdom coming from Ronald Mugabi and Robert Ssejjemba, both assisting on each others goals.
The Bucks would not go quietly though, turning up the pressure on the Kingdom defense in the final minutes of play. After several opportunities, it was the Bucks' Knox Cameron scoring on a 25-yard free kick. However, the Bucks would not find the back of the net again on this night.
The Bucks look to end their two game losing streak on Saturday against the Indiana Invaders back home at Hurley Field, kickoff 7:30pm.
