We tied with Liberty 2-2. The game was an exciting back and forth. Our team played well and did a fantastic job. Super proud of the effort they put in. Some highlights: Goals scored by Giovanni Campos and Noah Harley, assists by Oscar Tutschulte and Roen Goldberg with 3 saves and Joseph Tlatelpa with 4 saves. Stellar defense from Edwin Hernandez, William Ferguson, Jesus Rodriguez, Ivan Tatarchuk, and Jose Martinez.” 7th grader, Eder, who played defender states that “the game was pretty good and that everyone did their best and that’s all that matters.” We are excited to see what this team is capable of this season.
