1 min read

Owen handed Polk County its first conference loss on Wednesday, edging the Wolverines 3-2 in a Western Highlands Conference match in Swannanoa.

Spurred by an early own goal, Owen (7-5-3, 7-3) built a 3-0 halftime lead. Polk County (8-4, 5-1) rallied in the second half, getting a score by Salvador Chavez and an Owen own goal to cut the lead to one. Polk County, though, would get no closer.

Jeremy Allsbrook recorded the assist on Chavez’s goal.
