Lisle Soccer Shuts Down Sandwich
Lions improve to 9-3 with an impressive win over conference foes.
If the Sandwich Indians didn't know Alhaji Kamara before today’s game, they are not going to forget him soon. Kamara kick-started the Lion offense and scored Lisle’s first three goals, leading the Lions to a 7-0 shutout over conference foe Sandwich.
“24 (Kamara) had a great game – he came out and was able to be in front of the net and get his shots in,” said Lion coach Kevin Perez. “This was a good game for him – a confidence boost.”
Team captain Patrick Webb played no small part in the victory, assisting on Kamara’s first three goals (Kamara would later score a fourth), adding one of his own.

Defensively, the Lions seemed to beat the Indians to every ball, and Sandwich had few scoring opportunities.
With the win, the Lions improved to 9-3 overall, 5-2 in conference.
Next up for the Lions is the AAA tournament at Glenbrook.
“It is a chance for us to pick our game up – to play against the big teams,” stated Perez. “My goal is to pick up a few wins this weekend and pick up our pace for the last half of the season.”
