SPARKS - Carson High's boys soccer team won its second straight road match, knocking off Reed 3-1 Wednesday night.
Carson is 2-0-0 entering its home opener at 11 a.m. Saturday against Damonte Ranch.
"I'm very happy with how both the varsity and JV played," first-year coach Eric Masters said. "We've been working on defense for the past month, so it was nice to score three goals. It was good to see Jason Martinez getting a couple of goals under his belt.
"Michael Samii played fantastic. Zach Smith and Victor Romero also played well."
Carson opened the scoring in the 10th minute when Luis Camacho played a 40-yard diagonal ball to Sam Hutchinson, who found the back of the net on a half-volley.
Reed evened the score right before the half on a "bad goal kick," Masters said.
Carson took a 2-1 lead in the 69th minute when Jaime Lopez played a through ball to Martinez, who beat the goalie. Carson scored again three minutes later off a corner kick by Sam Hutchinson. Martinez was able to head the ball past the Reed keeper.
Goalie Marco Magallon had four saves.
