Saturday roundup: Sidney boys soccer rallies to beat Urbana 5-4

0

SIDNEY — Alijah Jackson scored two goals while Damien Jones, Trey Werntz, Braden Guinther and Carson Taylor each scored one to help Sidney’s boys soccer team earn a 5-4 win over Urbana on Saturday.

The Yellow Jackets gave up two goals in the first 10 minutes but led 3-2 at halftime. The Hillclimbers took a 4-3 lead in the second half, but Sidney scored the last two goals of the game.

“We played good and bad today,” Sidney coach Jamie Fridley said. “We are still playing down to our competition because we were the better team out there today. We out-possessed Urbana probably 65 to 35, but we still are making a lot of tactical errors that we must clean up before we start playing tougher teams.”

Sidney (2-1-0) will play next on Tuesday at home against Xenia.

“We did show a lot of mental toughness by leading then trailing and then coming back to win,” Fridley said. “We still have some bugs to work out before we play Xenia on Tuesday, I know we cannot play like we did today and expect to win. Xenia is a good, solid team that always seems to give us fits, so will need to be ready.”
