Edina Boys Soccer May Have to Share Title

The Edina boys soccer team may still be able to claim a Lake Conference championship this autumn, but it might have to share the crown.

Wayzata stunned the fourth-ranked Hornets, winning 2-1 in overtime on a goal by Alexi Moua at Kuhlman Field on Tuesday night.

The shocking turn of events dropped Edina into a tie with the Trojans atop the Lake standings as each team now holds a 5-2 circuit record with one road win over the other with a single game remaining in the regular season.

After more than an hour without a goal, Wayzata took the initial 1-0 lead in the 68th minute on a score from John Kornahrens.

Edina, which had been scorching the Wayzata goal box for the majority of the contest, finally pulled even on a strike from John Lagorio in the 75th minute to knot the count at 1-1 and send the game into the extra session, where Moua ended matters in favor of the visitors.

The Hornets, 12-2-1 overall, will now look to clinch at least a share of the Lake championship at Minnetonka on Thursday at 5 p.m.

Edina will need to defeat the Skippers, then wait for the results of Wayzata's conference finale versus Hopkins at home. That game is slated to start at 7 p.m.

In the first round of Lake play, the Hornets defeated Minnetonka, 2-1, at home on Sept. 20, the same day that the Trojans topped the Royals by a 5-1 count on the road.
