Today, the #2 Xavier Gators met the #10 Mountain View Toros in the 6A State Soccer Quarterfinals on Petznick Field. Xavier blanked the Toros 4-0 in the first half with outstanding defense and goalie play while making the scoring of goals look easy. Mountain View played a more aggressive 2nd half and scored a goal to finalize the score at 4-1.
