GENOA – A day after losing its season opener to Dundee-Crown, coach John Gosling and Hampshire’s boys soccer team recovered with a 2-0 Big Northern Conference crossover win against Genoa-Kingston on Tuesday.

Senior forward Ismael Morales scored goals in both halves for the Whip-Purs (1-1), and Marcus Quick made four saves.

“After an intense game [Monday night], we were a little slow getting things started today,” Gosling said. “We missed some early opportunities that would have put it away early, but the most important thing is that we won after losing on [Monday].”

Richmond-Burton 4, Winnebago 0: At Winnebago, Cody Freiberger, Nick Wiza, Wes Legget and Gustavo Campos Jr. scored goals for the Rockets (1-0) in their season opener, a BNC crossover.

North Shore Shootout: At Lake Forest, Dundee-Crown (2-0) advanced in the championship bracket of the three-game tournament with a 4-2 win against Carmel.

Mauricio Arellano scored twice in the first half on penalty kicks, and Malik Washington and Rafael Herrera each had a goal after the break. Eduardo Arellano made six saves for the Chargers, and Scott Nowicke made three.

Kaneland 4, Marengo 0: At Marengo, the Indians (0-1) dropped their non-conference season opener, allowing all four Kaneland goals in the second half.
