The Fruitport boys soccer team posted its second victory of the season on Thursday night, breaking through in the second half to beat Cedar Springs 2-0 in a non-conference matchup at home.
The victory was the second in a row for the Trojans, who started the season 0-3-2 after a series of tough games at a weekend tournament up north.

The game was scoreless at halftime, then the Trojans got on the scoreboard when Carter Gregor found the back of the net, with an assist from Jorge Burgos-Yack.
Burgos Yack added the final goal late in the game on a penalty kick.
Fruitport Coach Dan Hazekamp credited the midfield play of Davis Johnson and the backline defensive play of Nathaniel Cribley-Cotto, Hudson Hazekamp, Ryder Chan and Ryder Doherty for keeping Cedar Springs from mounting much of an attack.

Fruitport goalie Mason Kettel stopped all three shots he faced to record the shutout.
“This was a gutsy win against a really solid Cedar Springs team,” Coach Hazekamp said. “I was really impressed by our composure throughout the game. This is a good building block going forward as we play a really tough non-conference schedule throughout the season. We are hoping to continue to build as we go forward.”
The Trojans, now 2-3-2, will return to action next Thursday when they open O-K Silver conference play at Godwin Heights.
