A dramatic penalty kick in stoppage time by Soldotna’s Simon Willets staked the SoHi boys to a 2-1 Peninsula Conference victory on Monday.
SoHi’s Daniel Heath opened the scoring in the 10th minute; which proved to be the only goal for SoHi until the game-winner. Kenai’s Enrique Mercado evened the contest late in the second half with a goal in the 79th minute. SoHi goalie Luke Hillyer turned-away numerous Kenai attacks and earned the victory in goal. The win for the Stars was the second of the season with the decisive goal on a penalty kick by Willets; both against the Kardinals.
