WORTHINGTON -- In moving their record to 4-0, the Worthington High School boys soccer team shut out Marshall 3-0 in their 2022 home opener Thursday night.
Despite their perfect record, the Trojans have been a little sluggish in the first halves of games recently, and Thursday was no exception. The Tigers didn’t score, however, and Worthington had the only first half goal -- scored by Alan Flores with 32:28 remaining before intermission.
