The visiting Stars fell to 4-2-1 overall with the nonconference loss.
The Moose scored early in the second half on a long shot that was made tough by the sun and the strong wind. Palmer then scored about 10 minutes later.
Simon Willets had a penalty kick for the Stars, but they could not find the equalizer.
“We had a huge push at the end of the game, but their keeper came up with save after save,” SoHi boys coach Erik Dolphin wrote in a text message.
The coach said Gehret Medcoff hit a screamer that went just over the bar for the last play of the game. Dolphin said the team put forward a great effort despite having to be out of the building the squad stayed in at 6:30 a.m.
“Very close,” Dolphin wrote. “Very intense. Tough game for us on our road trip.”
