Avenging an earlier season 6-1 road loss, Albion nipped visiting rival Medina 1-0 in a Niagara-Orleans League boys soccer game this evening.

David Rosario scored the game’s lone goal for the Purple Eagles midway through the first half as Adrian Figueroa-Fuentes made several huge saves in goal to earn the shutout.

Albion finishes the N-O season at 7-3 while Medina is now 6-2-1 with one game remaining against Roy-Hart at 4:15 p.m. Friday at Vets Park.
