Plymouth Edges Warsaw Soccer

A goal on both ends of the time clock sent Plymouth to a 2-0 boys soccer win at Warsaw Thursday night. Plymouth scored early in the first half and put the game away with a goal in the final 10 minutes to cap the victory.

“We are still young and have a lot to work on,” noted Warsaw head coach Frank Courtois.

The junior varsity Tiger squad used a goal from Alvaro Aguillon, assisted by Payne Rager, to beat Plymouth 1-0.

The Warsaw varsity (1-3, 0-1 NLC) will visit Penn Saturday morning.
