Brownsburg has produced some standout Oilers (i.e. reigning men’s golf athlete of the week Luke Kelly) and Boulton, just a freshman, is showing more of the same promise hailing from the area.
The rookie keeper is showing he is more than up to the task and has been part of the program’s notable turnaround with a perfect start to the season.
Boulton passed his latest tests with flying colors as the Oilers toppled newly-ranked No. 7 Ohio Valley in the Great Midwest opener and Daemen.
Boulton played every minute against the Fighting Scots and produced six saves out of seven shots on target while the defensive unit collaborated to slow down the high-powered OVU offense.
The double overtime victory for the Oilers was the second year in a row that Ohio Valley was nationally ranked before coming to Findlay and suffering a setback. OVU was ranked sixth nationally in the 2018 meeting between the two teams.
With similar results, Boulton blanked Daemen, making six more saves in the clean sheet. He is averaging five saves per game so far this fall.
Boulton and the Oilers welcome defending conference champion Tiffin to town on Wednesday before traveling to Kentucky Wesleyan to end the week in the league schedule.
