The Millers had a rematch tonight against their opponents from the state final and county rival, Carmel.

The match was fairly even throughout the evening and fiercely contested on both sides. In the first half, several Millers shined like midfielder Jackson Montgomery. The Millers had the bulk of the chances but were unable to find the back of the net.

The second half saw the bulk of the action. Goalkeeper Noel Peña was called into action multiple times and kept Carmel at bay with multiple saves. The goal happened while the Millers were pressing high and putting the Carmel back line under pressure. The goal happened when Carmel passed the ball back under pressure. With about 10 minutes left in the game, forward AJ Tippner forced an error from the Carmel Goalkeeper which led to a tap-in. This gave the Millers the one goal advantage they needed for the rest of the match.

After the goal, Carmel put the pressure on the Miller back line. Defenders Luke Odle and Owen Mejia both helped out the Miller goalie to keep the shutout.

It’s a great day to be a Miller. They are back in action on Saturday against Plainfield.
