T-R PHOTO BY ROSS THEDE Marshalltown’s Ernesto Garcia (13) and Waukee captain Colten Llewellyn jostle for possession of the ball during the first half of Thursday’s CIML Iowa Conference soccer match at Leonard Cole Field. Tenth-ranked Waukee escaped with a 1-0 overtime win.

The first shot on goal in overtime was the only one to find the goal, too.

Waukee freshman forward Cameron Duckworth found the back of the net five minutes into the first extra period, pushing the 10th-ranked Warriors past Marshalltown 1-0 Thursday night at Leonard Cole Field.

A pass from Eric Bean found Duckworth with space to work with between himself and MHS freshman goalkeeper Mario Gomez, who nearly got a hand on what turned out to be the game-winning goal. Duckworth also scored a goal in the Warriors’ 2-0 upset win over No. 2 Ankeny on Tuesday night.

It was a bittersweet defeat for a Bobcat team that played its best soccer of the season, only to come up one goal shy of scoring an upset victory of its own.

“They finally played up to the level I knew they could play at, and then to lose it in overtime is tough,” MHS head coach Craig Marshall said after his team’s first overtime match.
