BOYS SOCCER PLAYOFFS: Six teams from Southern Arizona to quarterfinal round

Rincon/University took an early 2-0 lead but Corona del Sol came back for the win in overtime. (Andy Morales/AllSportsTucson.com)

No. 4 Rincon/UHS scored two early but No. 13 Corona del Sol scored two late – but no too late.

Down 2-1 in the 79th minute, a perfectly placed corner kick resulted in a perfectly timed header to force overtime where the Aztecs scored once more for the 3-2 win and a trip to the 6A quarterfinal round.

As mentioned before, Rincon (13-5-2) led early thanks to a goal from Jesse Gill (Biniyam Leta) in the third minute and another from Abdullahi Mohamed in the 10th but Josh Allison found the net in the 23rd minute to cut the lead in half…
