The boys won when Trae Pitsch headed in a deep free kick from goalie Luke Hillyer in the 75th minute. Hillyer had the shutout in net.
“Very tough game,” SoHi boys coach Erik Dolphin wrote in a text message. “We have most of our guys banged up and sleep deprived. We were up again at 5:30 a.m. today to fly.
“We were super tired and started slow. They took it to us in the first half, but Luke saved everything that came his way.”
