NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The Newman boys soccer team could have given up on Friday night in the LHSAA Division 4 Select semifinal game. They trailed Episcopal, 3-0, through the first 24 minutes of the game.
By the end of the first half, though, it was all tied up.
In the 48th minute, a corner kick set up Ryan Clavarie for the go-ahead goal and Newman’s first lead of the game.
Episcopal’s Alden Romano finally answered in the 65th minute, and five minutes later, Romano found himself lining up for an appetizing free kick.
Romano found the far left space in the net and drilled the kick.
The Knights defense held on the rest of the way to win a 5-4 thriller and advance to the state title game.
