ATHENS — Junior Nate Quinn scored two goals and dished out two assists
to lead Athens to a 6-1 win over Williamson here Wednesday evening in
NTL boys soccer action at Alumni Stadium.
The Wildcats, who won four games last week, improve to 8-1 with the win.
“After
a tough week on the team physically last week, we were able to get some
quality training in the past two days,” said Athens coach Jake Lezak.
“It really paid off for us, and the players are getting more touches on
the ball and better each session.
“We covered some tactical
issues that we need to continue to reinforce, and they boys did a really
nice job tonight with transferring training to the game.
“A few players were shuffled around and played very well for us tonight,” added Lezak.
