Soccer Lions avenge earlier loss to North Lamar

GREENVILLE -- Greenville’s Lions avenged a 4-3 loss at North Lamar with a 1-0 District 20-4A soccer victory over the Panthers on Saturday afternoon at T.A. “Cotton” Ford Stadium.

The final score was misleading because the Lions had an 11-3 advantage in shots on goal.

Ryan Wilhelm fired in the game-winning goal midway through the second half after a series of deflections. Chris Gutierrez and Evan Snider shared the assist.

The Lions were close to scoring on several other opportunities. Andrew Carrillo’s shot in the first half bounced off the right post of the goal.

The Lions also had a shot bounce off the crossbar on the goal.

North Lamar’s goalkeeper also saved some other Greenville shots that were headed to the goal, including a header by Wilhelm.

North Lamar didn’t test Greenville’s goalkeeper Luis Torres very much as Torres finished with two saves.

Wilhelm, while back on defense, saved another shot.

“I thought we played really well today,” said Lions coach Jeff Crank. “We moved the ball around really nice. It’s a matter of whether we play smart or not.”

The Lions upped their season record to 4-4-6 and district mark to 3-2-3.

North Lamar dropped to 5-10-3 for the season and 5-3 in district play.

Greenville will honor its seniors on Tuesday in the final home game. The Lions also have another district road game set for Friday at Commerce.

Greenville’s junior varsity blanked North Lamar’s JV, 3-0.
