FENTON -- A defensive battle from the start, but Fenton soccer picked up a 1-0 victory over Linden in a district quarterfinal.

The Tigers were able to keep the Eagles off the board with tough defense and strong goaltending, while a late goal from junior Jake Kinsman was enough to advance Fenton in the postseason.

Fenton will move on to play Auburn Hills Avondale Thursday at Bloomfield Hills Lahser.
