GRANITE QUARRY — East Rowan beat West Rowan 2-1 in a hard-fought South Piedmont Conference game on Thursday.

Noah Dillon scored for the Mustangs (9-6-1, 4-6) on a penalty kick.

Patrick Sanchez scored on a corner, with Gates Brady getting the assist.

Will Beecham scored for the Falcons, who have come close a number of times, but still haven’t won a match.

“Not a great performance, but this season we’ve figured out ways to win ugly games,” East coach Nermin Hodzic said. “In past seasons, we probably don’t win this game, but our guys never give up.”
