CLAYMONT — Conrad’s defense kept Archmere ffrom getting too many good looks, and the Red Wolves were opportunistic on offense in a 3-0 boys soccer win on Coaches Field on Sept. 13.

The Auks had some deep throw-ins and a corner kick in the opening minutes, but the teams settled into a ball-control game that lasted through much of the first half. Finally, in the 38th minute, the Red Wolves sent a through ball down the left side. Leonardo Marquez caught up to the ball and shot the ball low past Auks keeper Mason Kohl for the 1-0 lead. JuanCarlos Santos picked up the assist, his first of two on the afternoon.

Kohl kept the Auks just a goal back with some quality saves early in the second. Archmere had a chance in the 56th, turning a Conrad corner kick into a counter that was stopped by Red Wolves goalkeeper Daniel Lopez-Lopez.

 

Silas Foester added to Conrad’s lead in the 64th minute, picking up a rebound after a save by Kohl and finishing to make it 2-0. Jax Winterringer closed out the scoring in the 77th.

The Auks’ best chance came in the 72nd minute. A free kick from 37 yards out was ticketed for the top shelf, but Lopez-Lopez leapt and stretched his arms and was able to knock the shot away.

The Red Wolves finished with a 10-3 shot advantage. Each team had three corners. Lopez-Lopex made three saves. Conrad (3-0) are home Sept. 19 vs. Wilmington Charter.

Kohl had seven saves for Archmere. The Auks (0-2) are on the road Sept. 17 at Sanford at 4 p.m.
