MONONA - The Monroe High School boys soccer team opened up Badger South Conference play with a 3-2 loss to Monona Grove Tuesday.
Monroe freshman Anthany Hernandez scored a goal on an assist from junior Ryne Miller at 19 minutes, 16 seconds to give the Cheesemakers a 1-0 lead.
Monona Grove's Brian Reynosa scored a game-tying goal at 31:04.
The Silver Eagles got second-half goals from Keiner Dayne and Joe Scalissi to take a 3-1 lead. Miller scored the final Cheesemakers' goal at 86:45. Monroe junior goalkeeper Atticus Pond had 14 saves.
Monroe (4-4-1, 0-1 Badger South) played without senior Mohammad Assaf, who was serving a one-game suspension due to a red card he received Saturday against Sauk Prairie.
"In the first half, we knew we would have to use our bench without Mohammad," Monroe coach Tony Vasquez said. "They did well filling in. In the second half, our guys played hard, but it seemed like they were a little bit better skilled. Our touches were not as good, and their passing was better. We made a game out of it. We just came up short."
