Varsity soccer lost a hard fought game to St Paul's to wrap up Clinton Cup play. The defense played extremely well and Matteo Rivas was excellent in goal with 24 saves. The Saints held a 1-0 lead at halftime but tacked on a second goal almost 5 minutes into the second half on a PK. Goal number 3 came on a PK with just over 5 minutes left in the game. The last goal came with just under 3 minutes remaining on a loose ball that was poked in. The Tigers return to action Tuesday at Lone Jack.
