New Boston Huron soccer can't recover from slow start in semifinals
· Yahoo Sports
WATERFORD – The hole was too deep for New Boston Huron to escape.
Bloomfield Hills Marian, ranked No. 3 in the state, built a 3-0 halftime lead and cruised past Huron 4-1 in the Division 2 state soccer semifinals on Wednesday, June 10.

Marian scored nine minutes into the game, then made it 2-0 eight minutes later.
The killer was a third goal with 5:16 left in the half.
“We were finally starting to play our game down 2-0,” Huron coach Matt Lividini said. “It looked like we might possibly pull back into it, but they scored off a corner kick.”
It was a well-executed corner.
“An open player in front headed it right in,” Lividini said. “They are definitely a good team.”
Huron played even with Marian after the intermission.
“The second half was 1-1, but we couldn’t get those three goals back,” Lividini said.
Avery Turk scored Huron’s goal off an assist by Miley Skamiera.
“In the beginning, we were just a little too timid a little too long,” Lividini said. “That was the story of the game.”
Huron, which fell in the state finals last season, wound up one step short of that and finishes with an 18-4 record.
“When you get to the Final Four, two teams have got to advance and two have to go home,” Lividini said.
The Chiefs graduate seven seniors.
“We’ll be right back,” Lividini promised.
