• THE STICKY TREE FROGS BEAT HUDSON UNITED

The Sticky Tree Frogs are finally back to winning ways after a tough loss to Nordonia to open the season. The Lime and Purple beat Hudson United in a close 2-1 game with the goals coming from Brian Dugan in the 32', before Hudson equalized in the 41'. A few clutch defensive stops later before a Finn Obraza shot would be rebounded by Max Kenworthy to win the game for the Frogs in the 44'. Hudson put up a solid fight throughout the first half but in the end the physicality of a strong STF back line of Dugan, Kenworthy, Poluga, and McMullen was too much to match in the second. After generating little offense, Hudson were beaten in the midfield by the impressive transitional efforts of Datta, Yanelli, and Obraza.

• STICKY TREE FROGS GO INTO BYE WEEK AFTER LOSS

The Sticky Tree Frogs fell to the Nordonia Knights, 4-3, on Sunday, ending a four game win streak and an undefeated season. Controversial refereeing decisions to kick the match off early, combined with a slow start from the Frogs, led to Nordonia taking a 2-1 lead heading into halftime, the lone goal coming from Cooper Liedtke. A spectacular finish with 6:20 remaining by defender Mathias Broyles brought the Frogs within one, but after an insurance goal by the Knights, it proved to just come up short. The Lime and Purple remain on top of the table on goal difference, but the loss brings them level on record with Hudson United, and Nordonia. The Frogs look to return to winning form after a week off, as they take Cuyahoga Falls SC, at 8:00pm on December 12.

• STICKY TREE FROGS HEAD INTO WEEK 2 AFTER BEATING BAWLS CF, 7-1

The Sticky Tree Frogs had a dream start to the campaign and a brilliant inaugural match on Sunday, November 7th, as they defeated Bawls CF by a score of 7-1. The Green and Pink pressured right from kickoff, where a high energy start earned Griffin Pahls the first goal in club history, putting the Frogs up 1-0 in the 2nd minute. From there, madness ensued, as striker Ryan Barkley hit a spectacular half volley from the top of the box, after a deflection by Gabe Ponte. Goals from both Benjamins, Young and Pazderak, brought the score to a demoralizing 4-0. From there Cooper Liedtke clinically finished off a brace that would earn him the "Frog of the Match" award. A late consolation goal from the Bawls, and a difficult angle finish by Ethan Jenkins would leave the final tally at 7-1. The Sticky Tree Frogs will go into week 2 at the top of the table on goal difference, as they take on the Field Falcons at 8:40pm on Sunday Night at NC Soccer Club.
