A Lucas Aroujo goal off an Adam Karas assist led OA to a 1-0 victory.
At the 7:35 mark of the first half in the Oliver Ames boys' soccer game against Stoughton, OA senior captain Adam Karas fed sophomore Lucas Aroujo, who scooted the ball past Stoughton goalkeeper Michael Vulukh to put the Tigers ahead 1-0.
