Ida B. Wells Guardians Boys Soccer 1-0 Roosevelt

A single goal was all Ida B. Wells needed Tuesday, as the Falcons boys soccer team claimed a 1-0 road victory over Roosevelt in Portland, Oregon, in Portland Interscholastic League (6A) play. The tight result kept the Falcons moving in the right direction as the league season heads toward its final stretch. Ida B. Wells controlled enough of the match to earn the clean sheet, with the defense holding firm for the full 80 minutes and not allowing the Roughriders a finishing opportunity that threatened the shutout. The win moves the Falcons to 8-3-1 overall and 2-3 in conference, a mark that keeps postseason positioning very much in the conversation with several league games remaining. Tuesday's result on an opponent's field is the kind of win that builds belief in a squad that has shown it can grind out results when the margins are thin. Ida B. Wells will look to build on the momentum when they return to action later this week.
