Don't look now, Klamath Union boys soccer is a top the Skyline Conference, in a tie for the conference crown with rivals Henley and Phoenix.

Shouts of joy and triumph filled Modoc Field after the KU boys soccer team had one of its most significant wins in recent memory as it is believed to be the programs' first victory against Henley since 2013.

KU won under the bright lights at Modoc Field Thursday night, 2-1, after having lost to the Hornets in its previous 20 tries. The dramatic win comes off the heels of a 2-0 victory against Mazama this past Monday.

The Pelicans are now 3-1-0 in Skyline Conference play, 7-1-1 overall.

After the matchup, Pelicans' head coach, Trevor Petersen, and KU junior, Caleb Morton, met for a postgame interview with My Basin .com reporter, Matt Bowling.

“We were ready,” Petersen said. “We talked about it. We said, ‘If we go down, we’re coming back stronger,’ so we were ready for that.”

Morton lifted the Pelicans to victory after his emotional game-winning score came in the 74th minute.

“It means everything. I couldn’t have done it without my team. They set me up perfectly. We’re not the biggest, but we have the endurance," Morton said. "We’re always able to finish the game strong. Usually we have more energy towards the end, so we use that to our advantage and we just keep attacking.”

Henley scored first in the 6th minute. Not a minute later, KU responded as Morton's pass to teammate, Omar Garcia, brought in the Pelicans' first goal.

Klamath Union moved from No. 11 to No. 6 in the OSAA 4A computer rankings after Thursday’s game. Henley was ranked No. 3 before Thursday's loss and now sit at No. 4, and Phoenix is ranked No. 8.

Four games now remain in conference play as KU will now host a 6:30 p.m. Monday, October 15 matchup at Modoc Field against No. 10 Hidden Valley/New Hope Christian.
