Sep. 25—LELAND — Leland and McBain Northern Michigan Christian share more than just the Comet mascot.

The two top-15-ranked Division 4 teams clashed Saturday, with No. 14 Leland coming out on top 2-0 in its homecoming game against No. 15 McBain NMC.

The other thing the teams share is both coaches were happy with their respective team's performance.

"It was the best I've seen our guys play," Leland head coach Rob Sirrine said.

Colby Connor and Daniel Resendiz-Nunez scored the game's only goals, with Caleb Kickbush adding an assist.

Jimmy Dynomite recorded the shutout in net, and Sirrine said Max Waldrup, Logan DeFour, Colby Connor and Trey Roman also had standout performances. Leland player Kyle Baldwin was crowned homecoming king.

Leland (8-3-1) stays at home Monday against Kingsley and Wednesday versus Glen Lake.

Blake DeZeeuw stopped 14 shots for NMC (8-2-4), which hosts Big Rapids Crossroads on Monday.

"We have been in a little bit of a slump for our intensity and today we pulled out of it," NMC head coach Taylor Mulder said. "Although we let one goal in on regular play, the other was a PK. Our defense played extremely well. "
