Northern Tier WEST Sports ReportWELLSBORO — A second half goal by David Seeling proved to be the game winner as Wellsboro shut out Athens 1-0 in an NTL boys soccer match-up here Monday.

The Hornets held an 8-5 advantage in shots-on-goal and both squads had four corner kicks while keeper Camden Tom had four saves for the clean sheet.
“After giving up five goals on Saturday, we were pleased to see our keeper and defensive line keep a clean sheet tonight," said Head Coach Todd Fitch, "Although we were able to move the ball in our attacking half, Athens did a good job limiting our opportunities at goal.
