MOUNT OLIVE – Ishaq Algozy scored three goals and Jayce Hatcher added a pair as East Bladen topped North Duplin 5-1 on Monday in a Carolina Conference boys’ soccer match.
Hatcher put East Bladen on the board in the opening two minutes, scoring from about 25 yards out. Algozy scored his first goal on a 35-yard laser over the keeper’s hand, then scored on a direct kick from 30 yards out at 25 minutes that gave the Eagles (4-3-3, 1-0-1 Carolina) a 3-0 halftime lead.
Hatcher’s second goal came 15 minutes into the second half off a Davion Lewis throw-in when he deflected the ball off his foot in front of the net for a 4-0 East Bladen lead.
North Duplin’s Victor Mata scored off a penalty kick with 20 minutes remaining to put the Rebels (1-3-0, 1-2-0 Carolina) on the board.
Algozy’s third goal came in the 73rd minute when he collected his own rebound that bounced off the keeper in front of the goal and he tapped it in.
