WAUSAU – T.J. Sondelski scored five minutes in and that proved to be the only goal as Wausau West shut out Marshfield 1-0 in a Wisconsin Valley Conference boys soccer game Thursday at West High School.
Zak Meyer made 13 saves in goal for the Tigers, who were outshot 14-6. Marshfield drops to 3-7-1 overall and 1-2-1 in the WVC.
Xander Blum saved all six shots he saw in goal for West (5-2, 3-1 Wisconsin Valley Conference).
“West came out strong and had us on our heels a bit to start,” Marshfield coach Jeff Molter said. “Unfortunately, it was long enough for T.J. to find the net at 5:11 into the game. After that we had it sorted out a bit better and held them at one for the remainder of the first half. We had a couple of opportunities when we got behind their defense but just couldn’t seem to finish the deal to bring us even.”
West returns to action Saturday with a nonconference match at Eau Claire North.
Marshfield is off until Tuesday when it hosts Stevens Point at Heiting Community Stadium. Game time is 7 p.m.
