Hudson earns share of SLNC boys soccer title; Copley, Highland, Hoban win in volleyball
BOYS SOCCER
It came with a lot of sweat Tuesday, but title town came through once again when Hudson beat North Royalton 3-2 in Suburban League National Conference game.
The win gave the Explorers (10-1-1, 5-0) at least a share of the conference title. It’s the 17th league crown in school history (1990, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 2000, 01, 02, 03, 04, 12, 14, 16, 20, 22).
The Bears (4-6, 2-2) put up a fight though as first-half goals by Hudson’s Sam Robledo and Tyler Travis were answered by North Royalton’s Michael Suhy and Luka Sunjevaric.
The Explorers never had more than a one-goal lead, but Matt Morgan scored 5:32 seconds into the second half for the game-winner to give Hudson its second league title in three seasons.
A win or tie against Stow next on Oct. 11 will give the Explorers the title outright over Twinsburg (8-2, 3-1).
The Tigers still have Stow and Wadsworth in league play but have to win both and hope for an upset when Hudson plays.

Revere’s AJ Catlett assisted on Brown’s goal.
