Wilmington and Lynchburg-Clay played to a 2-2 tie Thursday in non-league boys soccer action at Alumni Field.
The Hurricane extended its unbeaten streak to four. WHS is 6-3-1 on the year.
Wilmington led 2-1 until late in the match when Lynchburg-Clay scored with just over a minute to play.
“I thought we played well,” WHS coach Imad El-Macharrafie said. “Lynchburg had a good game plan and capitalized when they had to, which led them to find the back of the net with a little over a minute to go.”
Sam Spirk scored both WHS goals and now has 25 for the season. Seth Gundlach and Charley Schumacher were credited with assists.
El-Macharrafie said a tie isn’t the result he was looking for but hopes the outcome pays dividends down the road for his squad.
“I think this will make us stronger going forward, teaching our players to close games out when the other team is surging,” he said.
