Area Prep Soccer Report for Wednesday, Nov. 24

Facing tough schedules, Lusher Charter and Holy Cross each suffered a pair of losses over last weekend.

That tough schedule and those tough losses will only make the Lions and Tigers better sides moving forward.

The Lions led 1-0 at halftime.

Senior Russell Brown and sophomore Alex Lupin each had a goal and an assist while senior Evan Walsh added a goal for Lusher. Senior Carter Maggio had six saves in goal for the Lions.
