BOYS SOCCER
HARRISON 3, LOGAN 0
The Berries (1-1, 0-1) dropped an NCC West game at Harrison.
"We gave up our first corner in the 15th minute and we gave up our first goal," Logan coach Mike Turner said. "That was a point of emphasis coming into our season was to be better on corners and again we still give up goals. After that everyone lost energy and focus. Harrison scored two more really nice goals during the run of play. In a span of 15 minutes we gave up our three goals. After halftime we found our footing but just couldn't find a goal."
ROCHESTER 5, CASTON 1
Alex Craig had Caston's goal in a loss to Rochester in Fulton.
It was a 2-1 game at halftime before the Zebras scored three unanswered goals in the second half.
"It was tale of two halves," Caston coach Nars Sanchez said. "We played a good first half. We had some early success moving the ball through the phases. We had good wing play and solid distribution through pivots. Our play eventually lead to an opportunity that Alex Craig was able to put away to give us the lead. Unfortunately, despite the better play in the first half we ended the half giving up the lead via a free kick and a play off an inbound.
"The second half we forced too much. We didn't let the ball do the work."
