Jake Evans netted a first half goal and Nathan Warters converted the game-winner in the second as Kendall defeated visiting Holley 2-1 in boys soccer.
The Eagles threatened twice in the early stages of the contest with Evans, Warters and Paul Urquhart teaming up on a triangular pass play that was tipped wide left in the 11th minute.
At 19:05 Warters raced down the right wing before shooting wide, but the ball deflected out to Evans who put it in the back of the net for a 1-0 Kendall lead.
Holley pressured defensively more in the second half and created several chances as a result.
The first tied the game just 1:06 into the second half. Junior Andrew Cary had the ball in the left corner and sent a centering pass into the box where it dribbled across the goal-line untouched to make it 1-1.
Just seven minutes later the Hawks threatened as Dan Kozlowski passed to Gabriel Mendoza, whose shot was saved by Kendall goalkeeper Cameron Zinsmeister. The rebound was knocked wide by Cary.
Kendall then retook the lead 2-1 in the 54th minute when an Evans pass from the right corner hit Warters in the chest and went into the net.
Holley had two great opportunities to retie the contest. The first came in the 57th minute as Chris Balys threaded a through-pass to break in Mendoza all alone, but Zinsmeister challenged and was able to push the attempt away.
In the 65th minute, Justin Parker intercepted a goal kick on one hop to again break Mendoza toward the goal, but his shot went wide.
Kendall improved to 3-3 overall and 2-1 in league play with the win, while the Hawks fell to 3-3.
