Alma sophomore Hamir Thibodeau’s free kick in the third minute of Tuesday’s clash with Greenwood proved to be a game-winner for the 6-6, 5-5 Alma Airedales’ soccer team.

The win is Alma’s school-record fifth conference victory and a season sweep of the Bulldogs. Alma leads Farmington for one-half game with four 5A-West games left on the schedule.

Lukas Todd had eight saves for the winners.

The Airedales travel to Gravette on Friday for a non-conference game and return home May 1 to play Mountain Home.

In the boys’ JV game, Haden Hudson scored in the 29th minute to lead Alma to a 1-0 victory.

The Lady Airedales (4-8-1, 2-8-1) dropped a 1-0 decision to Greenwood on Tuesday.
