The boys soccer team opened their season with a win on the road against Mifflinburg on Tuesday.  The Millionaires got on the scoreboard in the first minute when Connor Poole, a senior captain, put the direct kick in the far side netting.  The Wildcats quickly countered as they were able to get in behind our defense and a penalty kick was then awarded to Mifflinburg after some shoulder-to-shoulder contact.  Mifflinburg quickly took the lead when another ball got through and the Millionaire keeper, Sam Radulski, played aggressively, but unfortunately was called for a foul and Mifflinburg converted their second penalty kick in the half.  Williamsport was able to use their speed to their advantage as both Angelo Casas and Evan Brittain were poorly tackled in the box, leading to Connor Poole converting a penalty kick to even the score.

In the second half, Williamsport played with a little bit more composure and freshman Spencer Kaar received a pass from Dumfer Abjei-Frinpong just outside the box and popped a shot in the back of the net for a 3-2 lead.  With under ten minutes, however, Mifflinburg evened the score.

Williamsport began the overtime period aggressively and created three scoring opportunities within the first minute.  Finally, after three quick corner kicks, Connor Poole sent in a cross where senior Soliman Elgabry got free and blasted the game winner into the back of the net.

The Millionaires are 1-0 and play again Saturday morning when Mifflin County visits our Williamsport Soccer Complex at 11:00 a.m.
