TROTWOOD – After losing its first two games of the season, the Greenville boys soccer team earned its first win with an 11-0 shutout Tuesday night over host Trotwood-Madison.
Head coach Mark Coppess is hoping it will be the confidence boost his team needs.
“Trotwood never quits and they pushed us to work harder especially in the second half,” Coppess said. “After a rough start to the season, I think this will give us some confidence as we move forward into a really tough part of our schedule.”
The next four are at home for the Green Wave with West Carrollton (today), St. Paris Graham (Saturday), Xenia (Sept. 4) and Celina (Sept. 8). Then Greenville goes on the road for two at Fairborn (Sept. 11) and Troy (Sept. 13).
Greenville’s season began with back-to-back losses to Stebbins (4-1) and Shawnee (2-0).
“We had a tough week last week so we are trying to fix some things,” Coppess said. “Tonight was good for us to do that. We were more disciplined in the second half.”
Junior forward Alex Hutt led the Green Wave with five goals against the Rams. Dylan Snyder and Clayton Herron each had two goals and Jorge Guaderrama and Ben Davidson each had one goal in the win. Snyder also had a pair of assists, while Herron, Davidson and Hutt each had one assist. Jacob Maher also had an assist and also had one save in goal giving him seven saves for the season.
