PLEASANT VIEW — The cool weather brought out the best in a few goal-scoring machines on Thursday as boys soccer took center stage in Top of Utah prep sports.
With baseball, softball and some of the other sports sidelined due to a steady rain, soccer teams took to the pitch.
Weber posted a solid 5-0 win over Northridge in Region 1 play, boosted by four goals from Tyler Murdock. Syracuse’s Tyler Coffee was also on fire, scoring three second-half tallies in the Titan’s 3-2 win over Fremont.
Box Elder’s Bradley Nelson, Layton Christian’s Berke Kalemogle and Davis’ Mitch Parkinson joined the scoring frenzy on Thursday with a pair of goals in their team’s respective wins.
“This was a great team effort,” Weber coach Jan Swift said. “I was really pleased with the defense and we were able to play a lot of players today.”
Bryce Child added a goal for the Warriors, while Jaden Bybee had three assists and Kenny Gordon chipped in with a pair.
Middle back Zach Barker paced the defense, while Joe Wheelwright earned the shutout in goal for the Warriors, which improved to 7-1-2 on the season, 3-0-1 in Region 1 play.
Northridge dropped to 3-5-0 overall, 2-2-0 in league action.
A full slate of games are set for today, although scattered storms are also in the forecast once again.
