For 65 scoreless minutes, the American Fork soccer team gave the league-leading Pioneers everything they could handle.

After numerous fruitless opportunities by both squads, Lehi's Spencer Gray found the net twice in the final 15 minutes to lift his team past the Cavemen 2-0 on a cold and windy Thursday afternoon in American Fork.

The first goal came when the Pioneers were awarded a free kick just past midfield.

With the wind behind him and a slight downward slope in front, senior Jake Crump sent a well-placed kick into the box, where Gray collected the ball and quickly redirected it into the right side of the net for the tiebreaker.

Six minutes later, Zach Morgan booted a long cross from the right sideline to a waiting Gray, who once again made a quick trap and turned the ball into the left side of the goal in a crowd.

Both teams continued to play with vigor for the remaining time. The intensity led to a yellow card issued to each squad during the closing minutes.

The Cavemen had one final opportunity for a score with about 10 seconds left, but the shot sailed just wide to the right.

"We made a couple of mistakes in the box and that cost us," said American Fork coach Barkley Chile. "We put more pressure on them than we have in other games though, so I was pleased with that. Everybody played hard."

Lehi coach Steve McMurdie liked the efforts of defender Oscar Alvarez and center midfielder Austin Tuckett.

"Oscar kept things under control in the back and Austin created lots of offensive opportunities for us," he said.

Goalkeeper Riley Anderson notched his seventh shutout of the season. "He keeps things nice and tidy back there," the coach said. "He does a great job anticipating the flow of the game."

McMurdie was also pleased that his players maintained their composure.

"We had so many chances in the first half but we just couldn't finish them," he said. "We had eight corners and a bunch of free kicks. I was glad that the kids didn't get frustrated and kept working hard.

"I have to be happy we got those goals," McMurdie continued. "In this second round of region play, everybody's gunning for us. It's important to put the ball in the net."
