LANSING — Alex Purcell and Kevin Price scored goals
in a two-minute span late in the second half Wednesday night and
undefeated Lansing scored a 2-0 victory over previously unbeaten Dryden
in Interscholastic Athletic Conference North Division boys’ soccer.
The win lifted the Bobcats, ranked No. 1 in the state in Class C, to 8-0 on the season. Dryden fell to 8-1.
“The
game was physical up and down all night ... great mid-season
atmosphere,” Lansing coach Adam Heck said. “It was a great team win,
with great help from our bench. Dryden is a really tough team.”
After
more than 68 scoreless minutes, Purcell put the home team ahead,
collecting the ball on the left side of the penalty area and carrying in
unmarked to score into the side netting. Then with 10:50 to play, Jason
Yahn found Price on a slotted ball from the left side, and Price
finished for the insurance goal.
Shots
were even at nine apiece, while Lansing took seven corner kicks to
Dryden’s three. Keeper Bryce Stanhope made six saves for the Bobcats,
while Haile Cutter had five saves for Dryden.
The Bobcats travel to Groton today for a 4:30 p.m. game, while Dryden travels to Whitney Point for a 5:15 p.m. kickoff.
