Sturgeon Bay’s boys soccer team played its final regular-season home game of the season Thursday when the Clippers shut out Providence Academy in Packerland Conference action, 6-0.
Sturgeon Bay, which led 3-0 at halftime, got two goals from Finn Stevenson and single scores from Kayden Klotz, Jackson Starr, Will Estes and Justin Gutierrez. Gutierrez, whose usual position is goalkeeper, played on offense and scored his first varsity goal ever.
The victory locked up another conference title for the Clippers, who remain undefeated in league play with one Packerland match remaining Oct. 17 at Algoma. Their remaining non-conference matches before the WIAA tournament include Oct. 11 at Hortonville and Oct. 18 at Seymour.
