Wayzata Trojans Shut Out SLP Orioles in Boys Home Opener

 The St. Louis Park boys soccer team opened their home season against the defending Class AAA champion Wayzata Trojans but for the second straight game they were held to zero goals as the Trojans scored a goal in each half to beat the Orioles 2-0 Saturday morning.

The Trojans got their lone first half goal when Aiden Judickas made a left side pass to Charlie Piller and he piled a shot past oriole goalkeeper Wes Smith that landed in the net to give Wayzata a 1-0 halftime lead.  

It didn't take long for the Trojans to increase their lead in the second half as Smith faced a flurry of shots.  The first bounced off the top post, the second, he made the save and on the third shot, Lassi Koivukangas sent the ball over the goal line, 2:41 into the half.  That was all Wayzata needed to clinch the victory.  

Wayzata began the season with a 1-0 record and will travel to Rosemount on Tuesday, August 29 to face the Irish at 7 PM.  The Orioles fell to 0-2 and embark on a four game road trip beginning Thursday, September 7 at 7 PM against the Chanhassen Storm.  In two games, St. Louis Park has been outscored 5-0.
