"He doesn’t have the greatest shot in the world," Laurens coach Dave Miller said of Coryat, whose goal snapped a 1-1 tie with five minutes to play. "But we always tell the kids to put (the ball) back into danger. It was a nice contribution from him at an important time."
Coryat scored his first varsity goal, Miller said, on an 18-yard shot into the upper-right corner of the net. The play followed a La[an error occurred while processing this directive]urens corner kick that bounced around inside the box before coming out to Coryat.
