OZARK, Mo. —
Joplin scored four goals in the first half and defeated Ozark 7-2 in a nonconference soccer game Thursday.
However, Eagles coach Ed Miller said they could have scored more. Joplin had 21 shots on goal, but Ozark goalie Hunter Earnest recorded 11 saves.
“We got out early in the first half,” Miller said. “We had lots of opportunities, but their goalie made some incredible saves. We scored seven. We’re happy with that, but their goalie came up big.”
Joplin’s Domi Salcede scored two of the team’s first-half goals. Ozark responded with two goals to open the second half from Rodney Geremia and Jacob Neidig.
The Eagles followed with goals from Jonathon Ponce, Will Krolman and Joe Rice at the 65, 67 and 68-minute marks.
Joplin (18-1-1) failed to earn its 15th shutout of the season, but goalkeeper Brock Renken did log seven saves.
