Defense was on the agenda for Harrison.

The Goblins could not get on the board in the first half as the team had several nice opportunities, but they could not get the ball into the net.

Things changed for the team in the second half as senior Hunter Holtby took advantage of a pair of opportunities.

He scored an unassisted goal at the 28-minute mark.

Then 13 minutes later he had another shot on goal that found the net to give the Goblins an advantage that they would never give up.

Rilee Jones was in net for Harrison in the shutout.

Harrison will now venture back on the soccer pitch at noon on Friday facing Pulaski Academy.
