Grand Rapids — The Grand Rapids FC defeated the Michigan Stars, 1-0 at Houseman field on Friday May 27, 2017

“It was probably our worst effort in our four games,” Stars coach Morris Lupenec said. “They got the break they deserved and were well deserving of the result.”

With neither team scoring in the first half, GRFC substitute Anthony Bowie put the ball in the net for the game’s only goal in the 68th minute for the go-ahead game winner.

“I was able to one-time it home,” said Bowie. Tonight was his first game of the season.

“The tactical discipline of the boys showed up today,” GRFC Coach George Moni said. ‘We have not lost a game in over two years here at Housman.’

GRFC will attempt to keep their home streak alive when they return to Houseman field on June 10th for a 7:30 p.m. game against Lansing United.
