STERLING – After a scoreless first half, it was a scoring explosion in the final 31 minutes for Sterling and Rochelle on Thursday night at Roscoe Eades Stadium.

The Golden Warriors took the lead less than 10 minutes into the second half, but the Hubs answered emphatically with four goals in the final 28 minutes for a 4-1 victory in their nonconference clash.

“First half, we were kind of sloppy, but we made it up in the second half with all those goals,” said Rochelle’s Yandel Mendez, who scored the last two. “I feel like we kept up the intensity and at the end, it paid off. I’m really proud of my teammates for how we came out.”

The teams combined for just seven shots in the first half – and only three on goal – but both offenses started to find their groove after the break.
