Summit claims Class 5A boys soccer state title with 3-1 win over La Salle

HILLSBORO — The streak is over, revenge has been served and there is a new team at the top of Class 5A boys soccer. Behind two Will Newton goals in the final five minutes, Summit thwarted La Salle’s quest for three consecutive state titles with a 3-1 victory Saturday in the 5A championship match at Hillsboro Stadium. To get it done, the top-seeded Storm had to respond after No. 7 La Salle evened the score 1-1 in the 72nd minute. “They had the momentum when they scored that goal,” said Newton, who was named Player of the Match. “We knew that we needed to respond in the right way, and we did exactly that to get those goals.” “We never gave up,” said Summit senior Quentin Swanston. “In the semis, we got scored on in the first minute and didn’t give up. Today, we got scored on with seven minutes remaining. Being able to overcome that and play with grit is why we are state champions.” It was Summit’s fourth state title and its third in the last six years.
