LAKEVILLE – Class 1A #19 Argos faced LaVille Tuesday at Newton Park.
The two rivals played scoreless ball until just before halftime when the Dragons scored a pair of goals in under a minute.
The top 20 Class 1A Dragon team ended up pitching a shutout, 3-0, to end LaVille’s four-match winning streak.
Argos striker Ioan Petz found the back of the net in the 37th minute to score the goal in what was a defensive battle.
Then, about 30 seconds later, Yahir Fajordo was able to sneak past the Lancer defense and tapped his shot past the outstretched dive of LaVille goalie Kyler Christy. Argos led 2-0 at the intermission.
In the second half, both teams tried to gain their footing as tough defense once again ruled.
In the 65th minute, Fajardo dribbled through a pair of Lancer defenders to create space and was able to find the net for the final margin.
“Our guys played with a great deal of confidence,” said LaVille coach Keith Norman. “The 3-0 final score is somewhat misleading for anyone who wasn’t there, as the match was very much back and forth for most of the contest. I was extremely proud of the heart, effort, and work rate the team displayed throughout.”
LaVille moves to 4-1 overall and will travel to Tippecanoe Valley on September 4 at 5:30pm
