NTL BOYS SOCCER: HORNETS EDGE ATHENS TO STAY UNBEATEN (2024-09-03) Northern Tier West Sports Report ATHENS, PA — Senior Micaiah Fitch scored the game’s lone goal about 10 minutes in and Wellsboro’s defense kept Athens off the board in a 1-0 win here Tuesday in NTL boys soccer action.
“It was a physical game all 80 minutes,” said Hornets’ Head Coach Todd Fitch, “We connected on an attacking opportunity and our defenders contained Athens’ attack. It wasn’t our best game, but it’s always a good night coming away from Athens with a win.”
