The Millionaire boys soccer team earned a hard-fought victory at Selinsgrove Tuesday night. The win improves Williamsport’s record to 6-2.

With less than two minutes having ticked off from the start of the game, senior captain Jimmy Pombor slid a perfect pass through to sophomore forward Angelo Casas who got a shot off. The Seals keeper made the initial save, but gave up a rebound where sophomore forward Connor Poole cleaned up the loose ball, giving Williamsport an early 1-0 lead.

The majority of the first half saw Williamsport gain more confidence as their central midfielders (Zach Lake, Owen Kaar, Jimmy Pombor, and Quentin Mazzante) flexed their muscles and limited the Seals’ attack to just a few chances. Millionaire keeper, Sam Radulski, along with his back line of Evan Beiter, Jack Fink, and Tadd Ungard permitted Selinsgrove to take shots on goal, but many of them were from long range.

With just under ten minutes to play in the first half, Pombor sneaked his way by three defenders and passed the ball across the box where senior Andrew Boll blasted it past the keeper, putting Williamsport up by two. Five minutes later, Connor Poole received the ball outside the eighteen and took advantage of the opponent’s keeper being out of position and placed a shot over his head for a three goal lead heading into the break.

In the second half, Williamsport’s defense bent, but it did not break. Selinsgrove outshot Williamsport in the second half, but the Millionaires continued to get their opportunities at the other end. Selinsgrove got a shot past Radulski with under three minutes left in the contest.

The boys are back in action Thursday afternoon as they host Midd-West.
