“We tried to play a defensive game since we knew Teutopolis plays a good game, plus some of our players were not 100 percent,” said St. Anthony coach Martin Reyes.”

St. Anthony goalie Ivan Dong had six saves in the first half, but the Shoes still scored twice to take a 2-0 edge at intermission. THS added three more goals in the second half against Bulldogs goalie Reilly Ashton, who also had four saves.

A goal by Jack Elder, after a throw-in by Aston, gave St. Anthony a 1-0 lead early in the second half. But Pinckneyville responded by scoring twice, the winning goal coming midway through the half.

“It was a very physical game,” Reyes noted. “We had a lot of players hurting or cramping by the end of the game. Overall, I thought we did well in this tournament and I’m confident we’ll get better the more we play.”

St. Anthony will return to action Tuesday with a home match against Effingham.
