WPIAL Boys Soccer Scores (10/5/2020): Winchester Thurston wins return match vs GCC, 3-0

It’s a light Monday schedule for WPIAL Boys Soccer.

The schedule did feature the rematch between Winchester Thurston and Greensburg Central Catholic. The two schools at the top of Boys Class 1A, Section 2, who met in the WPIAL final last year, had their first meeting of the 2020 season last week in Greensburg with the Centurians coming out with a 3-2 win over the Bears.

Much like a year ago, when the teams split the season series — and exchanged post-season victories, Winchester Thurston returned the favor on Monday night, with a 3-0 win.  The schools are now tied in the section standings, with each team having one loss (to each other).

Winchester’s goals came from Grant Robinson, own goal )but Alex Hauskrecht sent in the corner), and Tomer Tuti.

In the past two years, these two teams have now played six times, with the series being a dead-even split, 3-3-0.

Also, in case you missed it, here’s the latest edition of WPIAL Notebook, which includes the latest updates on playoffs and a sampling of responses from our boys soccer coaches survey.
