Jesuit, WTW Suffer Season-Ending Defeats
Jesuit Dallas took its upset bid into penalty kicks before falling to Allen 2-1 in the second round of the Class 6A Region I boys soccer playoffs on Friday.
The Rangers (15-4-3) rallied from a halftime deficit with an equalizing goal by Cooper McGough in the 71st minute, assisted by Clyde Araiza. However, the Eagles (21-3-1) converted on all four of their attempts in the shootout, including the game-winner by Suliman Abujazar.
Reid McMillan made eight saves for Jesuit, six of which came in the second half or extra time. Allen held a 9-3 edge in shots on goal. Joshua Daley scored a first-half goal for the Eagles.
