Thursday wrap: Marauders knock PH from HHC lead

Entering tonight, Pendleton Heights was in a three-way tie for first place in HHC boys soccer in the loss column.

But Mt. Vernon had something to say about that.

The Marauders beat PH 3-1 tonight on the road, thanks to two first-half goals from Eric Ahonen.

MV never trailed from that point on. Kyle Cansler assisted on Ahonen's first goal. The second was unassisted. PH scored in the second half, but MV answered with a goal by Mouhamed Konate, assisted by Cansler and Adam Luke.

Corban Hartley made four saves in net.

MV is now 8-3-3 and 4-3 in HHC play. PH is 3-2 in conference play with two games remaining. Greenfield-Central and New Palestine remain co-leaders in the conference with one league loss each.

MV hosts Fishers at noon Saturday.
