Garner Trojan Athletics: Cary soccer nips the Trojans at the wire

Cary gets a goal with just nine seconds remaining to edge Garner 6-5. The Imps raced to a 3-0 lead, but goals by Matt Wescoe and Jake Smith cut the margin to 4-2. Cary adds another before Nathan Kenani and Wescoe register scores to knot the game at 4-4 at the half. Wescoe adds his third of the night on a penalty kick for a 5-4 Trojan advantage at 17:08. The Imps tie it back up at 24:15. Goalie Drew Gay makes two spectacular saves, on a penalty kick at 32:23 and from point blank at 35:32 to keep it tied. Wescoe's 8 point night takes him to 11 (4 goals, 3 assists) for the early season.

The Trojans are next in action on Aug. 28th at Fuquay:
Goals: Wescoe 3, Smith, Kenani,
Assists: Smith 2, Wescoe 2

In JV action, the Trojans fall 3-1 in the earlier game.

Scheduling note: The Trojans Sept. 15th match vs SE Raleigh will be played at Trojan Stadium and their Oct. 8th rematch at SE Raleigh (switched due to homecoming events at Garner).
