Soccer Downs Bulldogs

Garner and Southeast Raleigh had to wait over a month to play a game that was scheduled back in the earlier part of the conference season and tonight the two teams met at Southeast Raleigh High School on Thursday night.

The two teams played to a scoreless first half time with a new wrinkle for the Trojans as Matt Wescose was in goal for the Trojans in the first half. Garner got a goal with 17 minutes to play in the second half as Connor Torruella found the back of the net to give Garner a 1-0 lead.

Southeast would tie the game at one and send the game to overtime, that's when Garner made a goal keeper change and put Wescoe back up top. The two teams would play a scoreless first overtime session and the second extra stanza, Wescoe hammered home a goal on a PK with just 7 minutes to play.

Southeast would not be able to recover, as Garner came away with a 2-1 road victory.


***The JV team also picked up a win over Southeast, defeating the Bulldogs 3-0.
