A close match at halftime became lopsided quickly in the second half as the Algoma soccer team lost its season opener to Howards Grove/Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah 8-3.

The two teams were tied at two at the break before the Tigers outscored the Wolves 6-1 in the second half to take the opening day victory.

The Wolves return to action on Thursday when they welcome Peshtigo for a 4:30 p.m. kickoff.
