The regular season might not have produced the results that Perry soccer fans are used to but the postseason certainly has. Perry avenged an earlier season loss and defeated Winterset 4-1. in a class 2A substate semifinal. The win pushes Perry into the substate final this Saturday at 12 noon against powerhouse Harlan.
Perry never trailed jumping out to a quick two goal lead thanks to freshman Mario Saldano’s two goals. Rudy Sarceno and Mikey Velasco added second half tallies for Perry.
The win improves Perry overall record to 10-10 but more importantly places them one game away from a return to trip to state for the third consecutive year. Harlan and Perry will square off at 12 noon Saturday in Harlan. The Cyclones improved to 16-2 after destroying Glenwood last night 6-0.
