“The guys played real well,” Austin head coach Jens Levisen said. “Historically, the Rochester schools are strong. The guys feel good about playing with them, but it’s still a loss. There’s some give and take to it.”

The Packers had just two shots in the first half, but 13 overall attempts.

Century scored in the first half after rebounding off of a save by Austin keeper Ryan Rasell — who had seven stops.

“Ryan made a great save, but they got to the ball before he could recover and knocked it in,” Levisen said.
