WAUKEE — Edi Cokovic scored twice in regulation and the Class 3A No. 1 Waukee boys soccer team stopped No. 7 Marshalltown’s 13-game winning streak in a shootout, breaking a 2-all tie by prevailing in penalty kicks on Friday night.

Jose Torres scored his team-leading 19th goal of the season and assisted on a goal by Brandon Ordaz as Marshalltown (13-2) took a 2-1 lead in the 60th minute. Cokovic tallied his 12th goal of the season to even things up in the 72nd minute and the two teams played a pair of scoreless overtime periods.

Waukee (15-0) won the shootout, powered by a pair of saves by goalkeeper Evan Nidey, to remain unbeaten.
