Photos: Boulder soccer squeaks past Adams City in first round

BOULDER — No. 3 Boulder soccer outlasted a feisty No. 30 Adams City, 2-1, to move on in the 5A state playoffs on Thursday.

Adams City struck first, with a goal from Adrian Morales in the 3rd minute. Boulder was able to answer in the 19th minute when Quinn Liebmann rocketed a free kick from 30 yards out into the corner of the net.

In the 63rd minute, Leroy Alphonse out-hustled an Adams City defender on a Boulder clearance and put the ball in the net to give Boulder the lead for good.

Boulder will face No. 19 Poudre in the second round next Wednesday.
