Boys soccer team falls to GHV in overtime

The Clear Lake boys soccer team went toe-to-toe with a Garner-Hayfield Ventura Friday, but unfortunately were tripped up by the Cardinals in overtime.  

The Lions played a back and forth game with GHV.  Both teams had a couple of good chances at goal, but nothing to show for it at half, which ended in a scoreless tie.

The second half was more of the same until Kinnick Clabaugh was able to get one past the GHV keeper 16 and one-half minutes into the second half, assisted by Sam Nelson.

Clear Lake had a 1-0 lead until, with 3:23 left in the game, GHV had a corner kick and scored to tie it up, 1-1.

“We switched off for a short time, failing to get everyone marked up and it cost us,” said Coach Zach Hall.  “We went to overtime, where GHV was able capitalize on a mistake in our end and score the game winner halfway through the first OT.”

Hall said his team played one of its most complete games of the season, as far as consistency throughout the 80-minutes. 

“We had some good team play and good chances at goal, but two small mistakes ended up hurting us on the scoreboard.”

The loss dropped the Lions to 4-4 overall.  They are slated to play at Humboldt Thursday, May 6, then at a Waverly Tournament Saturday and at GHV Monday, May 10.
