Big first half leads SOU past Saints, 2-1

ASHLAND – The Southern Oregon men's soccer team made sure it couldn't be stung by another late strike on Friday afternoon, netting two goals first-half goals and dominating the majority of a 2-1 win over Carroll (Mont.) at Raider Stadium.

Sophomore Zak Woolley was in on both as he logged the second one-goal, one-assist outing of his Raider career. It made the Raiders 3-4 overall and 1-1 in Cascade Conference play, and left the Saints (3-3-1, 2-1) with their first circuit loss.

In the 40th minute, Woolley sent a pass 50 yards down field to Adrian Villegas, who got into the box from the left side and dotted the inside of the right post after bouncing off of a defender.

Just four minutes later, Kelly Gieber left a few Saints defenders behind while he split the center of the field off the dribble, then passed to his left to set up Woolley's finish for a 2-0 lead.

The Saints got their goal in the 74th minute on a Nick Lowrimore penalty kick. Otherwise, they were outshot 18-6 and only put one other on goal against SOU keeper Wyatt Zabinski in his return to the lineup.

Villegas, a freshman Hood River, lifted his team-leading goal total to five. Woolley's goal was his second, and the assist was his first.

Gieber, a senior defender/midfielder, is now tied for the team lead with three assists. In four seasons, he's accumulated 16.

The win gave the Raiders a rebound after they lost in the 109th minute in their CCC opener last Saturday at Oregon Tech. Of their four losses, they'd given up the go-ahead goal in the 70th minute or later in three of them.

In 14 conference home games since the start of the 2017 season, SOU is 13-0-1.
