Carroll soccer adds two more wins

The Carroll Varsity Soccer team had another solid week last week starting with a 4-1 win over visiting Twin Lakes High School.

The Cougars got started just two and a half minutes into the game on a goal by senior Chase Meade with an assist from Michael Myer. Meade got his second goal of the game 15 minutes later by taking the ball about 50 yards to the goal and beating the Twin Lakes defense and goalie. The Cougars took the 2-0 lead into the second half until Meade added his third at the 20-minute mark off an assist from Justin Moffitt. Meade finished off his highest scoring game of the season with his fourth goal off of a Blake Seward pass. Twin Lakes scored with just over 3 minutes to go to break the shutout. Cody Abdon finished with 8 saves in goal for Carroll.

At Caston on a wet Thursday night the Cougars won a hard fought 4-1 battle. Caston came out fast and scored a goal off the foot of Garrett Johnson just 2 minutes into the game. The rest of the first half was controlled, mostly by Caston. The Cougars were able to get one in the goal off of the head of Meade that was delivered into the goal by a corner kick from Myer. The score was knotted at 1 at the half.

Carroll came out a lot sharper in the second half and took a 2-1 lead just over 5 minutes into the second half on a Meade goal on a follow of a Myer kick. The Cougars replayed the previous goal about 3 minutes later with a goal by Junior Codey Meade, again off of a Myer kick. Chase Meade finished the scoring for the night with about 10 minutes to go with an assist going to Keil Lester. Abdon had 9 saves for Carroll and Shawn Rentschler had 9 saves for the Comets.

The Cougars are now 8-1 on the year.

Carroll played at home against Lafayette Faith Baptist yesterday, Tuesday, and will play in the Caston Tournament Saturday at 11 a.m. against Southwood.
