The LaGrange boys soccer team used a second-half surge to top Spalding 7-1 and earn their second region win of the season.
It was the Jaguars that scored first, just nine minutes into the game on a free kick. The Grangers would rally before halftime and score with 14 minutes left in the first. Aiden Collins scored his first of the night on an assist from Ty Hollstrom.
With the game tied 1-1 at halftime, the Grangers needed to find another gear in the second and half and they did just that, scoring five goals in the second half.
Collins led the way, scoring the second and third goals of the second half to cap of his hat trick.
It did not take the Grangers long in the second half to break the deadlock as Hollstrom, a freshman, found the back of the net just five minutes into the half.
Collins would add his two goals before Luis Morales got in on the act on an assist from Kenzo Sato with 19 minutes left in the game.
Jorge Roblero would add the final goal of the night on an assist from Christian Gholston with just a shade over 10 minutes left in the contest.
LaGrange improved to 5-4 overall and 2-1 in region play. The Grangers will return to action next Tuesday on the road to region foe Trinity Christian.
