High School Boys Soccer: Carroll, Northrop and Leo claim sectional-opening wins

Let's head to the pitch..

Playoff soccer beginning today... start in sectional six at dekalb..

Carroll facing east noble...donuts on the scoreboard in the 14th minute... east noble's nick klein with the takeaway... fires on net... but logan gonzalez makes the save on the short hop... and then from there the carroll offense would come to life... after a handball in the box... rylan lochmueller attempting the p-k..

And he buries it... chargers take the one nothing lead...just about two minutes later... they strike again... amir mojtahedi the feed to isaac timmer..

He one touches this one home...carroll takes a two nothing lead... chargers cruise to the sectional semifinal with the 13-0 victory... so carroll will get the winner of the nightcap between northrop and the host dekalb... defense dominating early in this one... dekalb's jace benson gets a good look from in tight... but michael martinez makes the diving save... keeps this scoreless... 34th minute... still no score... penalty kick for northrop now... but blake gilpin stonewalls salomon romero... and there's still no score...but just about three minutes later... the bruins finally get on the board... gilpin denies alan aguilar's first attempt..

But can't corral the second...bruins take a 1-0 lead to half... they hang on to win 2-0..

They'll face carroll wednesday in the sectional semis..

To sectional 23 at woodlan we go... defending sectional champs squaring off with leo... again defense the name of the game early in this one... 11th minute... no score... lions on the attack... semih kose rips off the shot... but jacob klitz able to make the stop... keeps it scoreless...28th minute now... donuts still on the board... leo with the throw in... klitz comes off his line... ball gets away..

But it finds klitz's feet..

Scary moment..

But still no score...norwell would get a look on net late in the half..

But jaden mooreland the easy save..

We'd go to half scoreless..leo posts two in the second..

They win 2-0... they'll face luers on wednesday
