Pella Boys Soccer Edges Norwalk in OT
The Pella boys soccer team pushed past Norwalk in overtime by a 2-1 score on the road Tuesday.

After a foul, Isaac Semini took the direct kick for Pella about 25 yards from goal, which tied it 1-1 with about 20 minutes left in the game. As the game ended, Head Coach Mark Solomon says the Dutch defense continued to frustrate Norwalk’s chances and opportunities.

A collision between a Dutch winger and a Norwalk player resulted in the ball coming free about 18 yards from goal. Sophomore Logan Solomon took advantage and struck the ball hard and scored to win the game two minutes into the extra period.

Pella improves to 4-2 overall and is at Carlisle on Friday.
