RIPON — Hughson moved the ball at will, using its possession skills and an offensive posture to keep Ripon High’s boys soccer team on its heels in their big Trans-Valley League confrontation at Ripon Elementary Tuesday.All that passing did the Huskies no good, and it was also to their detriment.Ripon scored all of its goals on pure hustle alone, and the defense warded off a late salvo of Hughson shots to prevail 3-0 and remain in the hunt for a Sac-Joaquin Section Division-V playoff spot.The Indians (5-4, 7-13 overall) are undefeated in three second-half league matches and have beaten two top-three squads in the process. The win inches them closer to Hughson (5-2-2, 6-8-3), which holds a one-point lead over Ripon for the third and final playoff berth.Hughson previously defeated Ripon, 4-1. The Indians also avenged an earlier loss to second-place Hilmar on Oct. 6 with a 2-1 victory.
