Saints boot Trojans in soccer classic

PDF

IOWA CITY - The Xavier Saints and Iowa City West Trojans, who have  combined for 15 state titles in boys soccer, waged a classic battle in  Iowa City West on Thursday.

Thomas Bean scored with 90 seconds left in double-overtime to give  Xavier a 2-1 victory over Iowa City West in a Mississippi Valley  Conference thriller.

Iowa City West is ranked No. 3 in Class 3A and Xavier is ranked No. 4  in Class 2A.

Luke Duball intercepted a pass and fed Bean for the game-winning goal  as the Saints raised their record to 2-0.

Bean also scored Xavier's first goal on a penalty kick after Duball  had been fouled by Iowa City West.

Iowa City West took a quick 1-0 lead in the first two minutes of the  match, but the Trojans never scored again. Xavier Coach Amir Hadzic  credited Xavier goalie Owen McCarron with making several terrific saves to keep the Trojans off the board.
