Republic’s soccer turnaround continues. The Tigers romped to a win over Joplin Friday in the Parkview Tournament, 5-1.
Drew Flippin and Austin Beck had two goals apiece. Flippin had two assists and Beck had one. And Alex Leonard added a goal on a free kick from a whopping 55 yards away from the goal. Leonard’s kick sailed just over the outstretched arms of the goalkeeper and settled into the top of the net to give the Tigers the score.
Republic has now won four straight games after a 1-3 start. The Tigers are 5-3.
