The St. Gregory College Prep boys soccer team’s dominance in the Class 1A/3A Metro Region continued Wednesday.
The Hawks defeated Green Fields 8-1 to improve to 5-0 in league play and 8-2 overall.
Frankie Mgbolu nailed the first two goals in the first 20 minutes to set the tone.
“He got us off to a start and guided us,” coach Jeff Clashman said. “Different people had a lot of action. Jacob (Liston) came alive.”
Liston, a junior, had the third goal in the 25th minute, the first of his career.
Senior Abel Herrera assisted a Harvey Sayles goal and later scored on his own in the 40th minute.
“(Herrera’s) game has improved but his leadership and attitude are leading us in the right direction,” Clashman said.
