The Miami Trace boys soccer team hosted the Unioto Shermans in a non-league match Tuesday, Sept. 20.

Pittser scored again for the Panthers, an unassisted goal at the 18:26 mark.

Smith scored again for Unioto with 11:46 to play in the game. Like his first goal, this, too, was unassisted.

“We are proud to have dominated statistically in shots and corner kicks,” Miami Trace head coach Josh Thoroman said. “It tells the tale that we beat them to the ball and that we out-worked them.

“We failed to score on many really good oppourtunities,” Thoroman said. “We will work on that.

“This is a really good win for us in the Southeast District,” assistant coach Sean Sweeney said. “This should help us as coaches vote to seed the teams for the Sectional tournament.”

Miami Trace had 23 shots on goal to 12 for Unioto.

Fouls called were nine against Miami Trace and five against Unioto.

The Panthers had seven corner kicks to none for Unioto.

Tim Kinzler had 10 saves for Miami Trace.

Gage Stout had nine saves for Unioto.

Miami Trace will host Wilmington Thursday at 7 p.m.
