No.1 Cougars tripped by IC West, 1-0

IOWA CITY - The Cedar Rapids Kennedy boys soccer team woke up Friday morning with an undefeated record and the No.1 ranking in Class 3A.

Then came trouble.

Kennedy lost to Xavier, 1-0, Friday night and lost again Saturday to Iowa City West, 1-0, in a pair of Mississippi Valley Conference matches.

Xavier is ranked No.1 in Class 2A and Iowa City West is ranked No.3 in Class 3A, so the Cougars faced a steady diet of top-flight competition.

Paris Martin scored for Iowa City West in the 15th minute for the only goal in the game Saturday.

Kennedy fell to 12-2 overall and 8-2 in the league.

No.1 Saints trip No.1 Cougars

The Saints are No.1 in Class 2A and the Cougars are No.1 in Class 3A, but now the Saints are No.1 on 42nd Street.

At least for now.

Isaac Frisch scored midway through the first half and Paul Cavin made a series of acrobatic saves as Xavier handed Kennedy its first loss of the season, 1-0, Friday evening at the Kennedy field.
