Boys Soccer: Vallecillo's late goal gives Cards 1-0 win

NEW ULM -- Christian Vallecillo scored the game's only goal on an assist from Jose Hernandez and the Willmar boys soccer team defeated New Ulm 1-0 on Saturday.

Cardinals goalie Charlie Trochlil faced only five shots in the shutout.

"The momentum swung back and forth," said Cardinals head coach Jeff Winter. "But in the end it was about 80 percent for us and 20 for them."
