ROUNDUP: Corona taps one in early, lifts Tech to Southeast League
Esteban Corona’s goal 10 minutes into the first half was all Tech’s boys soccer team needed to take over sole possession of first place in the Southeast League on Friday.
Corona’s marker was the only goal as the visiting Roadrunners handed Green Valley its first loss of the year, 1-0. Tech improved to 9-3-1 overall and 9-2-0 for 27 points in league play. The Gators fell to 12-1-4, 7-1-3.
The goal came after a long throw-in deep into Green Valley territory. Kevin Jimenez touched the ball to Corona, who buried his shot.
Green Valley had a chance to tie the match in the closing seconds, but a shot by Tim Shue narrowly missed the goal.
