A soaring Eagles team at (3-0-1) were unlikely to be denied a fourth win and first conference win against West Middlesex (0-4-0).
It did not take Conneaut long to score as 2 minutes into the game Brett Birkmire scored, unassisted. Then Birkmire followed that up by assisting on a Tyler Bone goal.
A few minutes after that, Brett Birkmire scored yet another goal thanks to the service of Richard Moore. Around the 15th minute mark, Brandon Jackson's pass freed up Birkmire again one-on-one with the keeper and Birkmire finished to secure a hat trick.
Birkmire finished with 4 goals and 1 assist, not bad for his first game of the season.
Overall, along with Brett, Tyler Bone had two goals (for a team leading 6), and Brandon Jackson, Pete Egan, and Ethan Mona all had one goal.
Jackson, who leads the team with assists with 6, picked up two more against West Middlesex as well. Chris Toth, Brandon Moss, Tyler Bone, Luke Graham, Brett Birkmire all additionally got on the assist board.
The Eagles were up 7-0 by the 25th minute mark and started to funnel in the substitutions. One substitute, first year Chase Vickers, was blown for a soft penalty in West Middlesex's box that led to a penalty kick opportunity.
Senior goalkeeper Nick Stockton stopped the first attempt, but was adjudged to come off of his line too quickly, so West Middlesex got a second crack and converted their lone goal of the game.
Conneaut added two more in the second half, a fourth for Brett Birkmire and a first varsity goal for Sophomore striker Pete Egan.
Conneaut improved to (4-0-1) and will have one off day to get ready for a much tougher opponent in Mercer (5-1-0).
