Connor Ramlo scored in the third minute of the game Thursday as the Xavier Saints blanked Linn-Mar, 1-0, in a Mississippi Valley Conference boys soccer game on a cold, wet night at Linn-Mar.

Ramlo received a pass from Isaac Frisch, eluded a Linn-Mar defender and booted the ball into the low right corner of the goal.

Xavier is ranked No.1 in Class 2A and Linn-Mar is ranked No.7 in Class 3A.

Both teams had scoring opportunities as the game proceeded, but neither team found the net in the next 77 minutes.
