Scoring one goal is more than enough when you are not giving up any goals.
The Fruitport boys soccer team downed North Muskegon 1-0 on Saturday to extend its perfect record at 12-0.
The Trojans also posted their seventh consecutive shutout victory.
The only goal of the game came in the first half, when Ryder Merkins scored on a header with an assist from Grade Anspach.
Fruitport goalie Logan Werschem and the defensive back line of Braxton Ward, Sam Krueger, Carlos Cruz and Isaiah Packard did a great job on the other end, keeping the Norse off the scoreboard.
Werschem recorded five saves in the game.
Fruitport Coach Dan Hazekamp credited Satchel Norwood, Carter Gregor and Hudson Hazekamp with strong midfield play.
Fruitport will return to conference action on Tuesday, hosting an important game against NorthPointe Christian.
The Trojans are in first place in the O-K Silver Conference with a 7-0 record while NorthPointe Christian is in second place at 5-0-1.
