HOLT, Mich. – The last time Holt played Williamston in boys soccer, it was during the 2021 campaign and Williamston found a way to advance with a 2-1 victory in the Capital Area Athletic Conference Tournament.
Three years later, and the Rams finally got a chance to exact some revenge on the Hornets and did so with a reversal, tripping up visiting Williamston 2-1 in the CAAC-Silver Cup Tournament semifinals match Monday.
Holt built a 1-0 lead at half after a 29th-minute goal from Furaha Djumbe, his eighth of the season. Carrick Christensen added his ninth goal of the campaign in the 55th minute.
Williamston fought back with a goal in the 55th minute but could not net the equalizer.
CJ Sampson had 11 saves for Holt (8-5-3).
Holt will host Grand Ledge at 7 p.m. Wednesday night in the CAAC-Silver Cup Tournament finals, which is the second of five mini cup tournament for the 21-member Capital Area Athletic Conference.
GRAND LEDGE 1, HASLETT 0: Jason Rivera scored the goal of a pass from Drew Buckland and the Comets advanced to Wednesday’s CAAC-Silver Cup Tournament finals with this shutout win Tuesday night.
