The Big Lake boys soccer team won its second game of the season last Saturday, 3-0 against Watertown-Mayer at home.

Elijah Chastain opened the scoring with an unassisted goal at 21:52 of the first half.

The Hornets didn’t take long to extend their lead when Will Priest scored at 28.41 with an assist by Jonnathan Puma Pineda.

The game stayed that way until Carlos Contreras Cabrera scored at the 68:46 mark in the second half, assisted by Will Priest, and that’s how the game ended.

Big Lake played a strong defensive game. Goalkeeper Caleb Olson turned away six shots in net to gain the team’s fist shutout win of the season.
