Soccer team defeats Dons in season opener Pleasant Grove, last year's second place team, kicked off the Region 8 soccer season Friday with a 2-1 win over last year's third place Spanish Fork Dons. The Vikes opened the game with a quick goal from Wade Welcker, but it was called back because of a penalty against the Vikes. During the first half Don Fields' attempt at a penalty shot was blocked by an excellent Spanish Fork goalie. The Dons came away with the first official score, but not long after, PCs Ilkka Lehmusvirta scored to tie the game. Early in the second half Field booted in the winning goal to give PG a 1-0 record. Springville will play at the Viking field this afternoon in the second Region 8 match. Friday, Payson will come to town. All Viking home matches are played on the soccer field just east of the PG swimming pool. Match time is 3 p.m. |
