Missouri Military Academy made it four soccer wins in a row with a 2-1 district victory over Southern Boone County on Monday afternoon at MMA.
Goal scorers for the Colonels were senior defender
Thomas Williams and senior left wing Sung Chan (Daniel) Lee.
Williams scored on a long, looping shot from outside the
box off a short pass from senior midfielder Gabriel Villasenor at 33:50 of the first half. Lee took a crossing pass from senior right forward Eduardo Benites and made it 2-0 with a shot into the corner of the net at the 23:40 mark, and the Colonels held that lead through
intermission.
“We did just enough in this game to secure a win. We had a lot of sick players, but the guys stepped up big-time and played relentlessly under tough conditions,” said MMA head coach Capt. Ali Syed.
“We scored two early goals in the first half, and that was enough for us to beat a very good Southern Boone team. Our team has been playing with a lot of confidence and we are undefeated so far this month.”
The 7-5-1 Colonels host Smithton at 5 p.m. Thursday in
another district contest.
