RALEIGH – Senior forward Thomas Vigdor scored a pair of second-half goals to lead Waxhaw Cuthbertson to a convincing 4-1 decision over Carrboro in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association state 2-A men's soccer championship at Dail Soccer Field at North Carolina State University on Saturday night.

The Cavaliers broke a 1-1 tie with a three-goal barrage in about a 12-minute span late in the second half. Vigdor was named the Most Valuable Player of the championship.

His first goal came in the 65^th minute after a great assist from Jason Drain to make it 2-1. Then Obi Collins, the Cavs' leading scorer on the year, tallied with an assist from Evan Martinez to make it 3-1.

Vigdor clinched it with his second goal, this one in the 77^th minute, for the final margin.

Cuthbertson jumped on top quickly, scoring in the fifth minute when senior midfielder Michael Proctor found the back of the net for a 1-0 advantage. For a good portion of the first half after that, however, Carrboro dominated possession and kept the ball in the Cavalier end.

Carrboro finally got the equalizer in the 58^th minute on a brilliant shot off the right wing outside the box by senior Alex Callaham to make it 1-1.

The Cavaliers, who have won the last four Rocky River Conference titles, earned their first NCHSAA state men's soccer championship and finished the season with a 23-3-2 mark. Carrboro was in the final for the second consecutive year, having lost to Salisbury in last year's championship. The Jaguars finished 18-7-3.

The Raleigh Sports Consortium serves as a host city sponsor for these championships, along with the city of Raleigh and the Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors’ Bureau.
