JACKSON – The Coldwater Cardinal varsity soccer team dominated the time of possession and the shot count on Thursday’s trip to Jackson Northwest as the two teams met on the pitch for Interstate 8 conference action.
Despite out shooting the Mounties 20-3 throughout the game things were still remarkably close throughout the game, as the Cardinals went on to take the 1-0 win.
Coldwater’s lone goal came early in the contest as Dawood Gabry continued his scoring ways, putting in a shot past the Mounties goalkeeper just two minutes into the contest, on an assist from Nasser Abdullah.
Franky Ramos made three saves in goal before being replaced by Alex Martinez late in the contest due to injury.
With the win Coldwater improves to 2-0 in the Interstate 8 and 6-4-1 overall.
The junior varsity team rolled past Northwest on Thursday, winning by the 8-0 mercy rule.
Both teams will be back in action on Saturday when they travel to Sturgis for the annual Cultural Understanding game versus the Trojans
