The No. 1 seeded Austin boys soccer team opened up the postseason in dominant fashion as they beat No. 16 seeded Kasson-Mantorville (1-15 overall) 7-0 in Art Hass Stadium Tuesday.
The Packers (14-0-2 overall) led 5-0 early in the second half as head coach Jens Levisen made sure to use the entire roster in a game that was played in cold temperatures and heavy rains.

“Under the conditions we were just trying to keep everybody warm and get them touches,” Levisen said. “Hopefully we’ll be ready to go again on Thursday.”
Lonyjera Okal scored two goals for Austin and Muyi Ochogi, Mooday Wah, Kevin Ortiz, Dylan Hanegraaf and Su Reh all had one goal.
The Packers will now host either No. 9 Red Wing or No. 8 Pine Island/Zumbrota-Mazeppa in a Section 1A quarterfinal game Thursday at 7 p.m.
