Soccer Wildcats Fall In Opener At Murphysboro

The Salem Wildcats soccer team played at Murphysboro last night.  In a game that was scheduled to start at 6pm, kickoff was delayed until 7:40 due to the heat.  When the action began, the Red Devils offense started scoring 5 times in the opening half.  Salem had a chance to score 3 minutes into the 2^nd half, but failed on a penalty kick.  The Wildcats are scheduled to play Thursday at Greenville, but that game is very much in question due to the heat forecast.
