The second half was quite a battle with both teams going at each other for the full 40 minutes. Soon, Eduardo Camara worked his way down the left flank past the Lamar defense and crossed the ball into the 6 yd box. There was quite a tussle and forward Noah Voelker came out the victor as he pushed the ball past 2 Viking defenders and goalkeeper.

Against Martin, the boys soccer team found itself down 4-0 at halftime. The second half was a complete different story with the ‘Horns putting pressure on from the start. This effort was soon rewarded when Eduardo Camara’s corner kick found Noah Voelker’s head and the ‘Horns were on the board. Soon after Vince Molina was given a beautiful through pass from Clint Ritter and his shot just glanced inches wide of the far post. Unfortunately, the team did not score anymore, with Martin earning a late goal to give them a 5-1 victory.
