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 2nd 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.
