TAR HEEL – Alejandro Lopez fired in 2 goals to lead Tar Heel to a 4-0 Waccamaw Middle School Conference boys’ soccer victory Thursday over East Columbus.
Gerson Verdugo sent a pass to Lopez in the 5th minute and Lopez banged in the goal for an early 1-0 lead. That margin held until Verdugo knocked in his own goal 10 minutes after halftime.
A few minutes later Uri Bravo stretched the Panther lead to 3-0 with a goal, and Lopez closed out the scoring with his 2nd goal of the game with about 10 minutes remaining.
Dylan Hernandez recorded his 4th consecutive shutout in goal for Tar Heel and was credited with 4 saves. Coach Brett Jackson’s Panthers remained unbeaten at 4-0 and will host West Columbus Tuesday at 3:45.
