Plymouth Finishes Job

Storms knocked out the scheduled date between Wawasee and Plymouth on the soccer pitch Thursday, but the host Pilgrims came back with a vengeance Saturday.

Playing to a 0-0 standstill until the 2:34 mark remaining in the first half Thursday evening, Plymouth erupted for four goals once play resumed Saturday to defeat Wawasee, 4-1, in varsity boys soccer.

Wawasee’s lone goal came from Alex Doll.

The result leaves Wawasee at 4-7-5 overall and 1-5-1 in the Northern Lakes Conference heading into the Plymouth Sectional. Play in the sectional begins Monday when Warsaw and Culver Academy meet at 6 p.m. Wawasee will play in Wednesday’s first game, starting at 5 p.m., with Plymouth taking on the Warsaw-Academy winner in game two. The sectional final will be Saturday at 6 p.m.
