The Generals took an early 1-0 lead as Ben Breedlove scored off a Tristan Simmons assist. However, the Mustangs would rally to take a 2-1 lead at the break. Elijah Decker converted a penalty kick and Riley Ledford later found the back of the net.

Heritage, though, would put it away in the second half as Micah Berry scored twice and Breedlove got his second goal of the match. Simmons also collected a second assist.

The Ramblers polished

off the sweep in the nightcap as Chandler Scott, Joe Brown and Javon Williams each scored one goal apiece.

CVMS coach Zach McKillop was impressed with his team’s play, even in defeat.

“Our team played spectacula­rly and better than

ever,” he said. “Isaac Shaw saved at least eight goals, Michael Johnston and Caleb Plott worked great defense and George Bednar played hard running up and down the field (and was) heavily supportive of both defense and offense.”
