The boys’ varsity soccer team finished their season on a high note with a dominant 4-0 win over Lexington Christian Academy this week. The win improved the team’s record to 7-3 on the season, with all three losses coming by one goal. Coach Santos was extremely happy with how his team finished. “We played a really good game out there today. It was good quality soccer from start to finish,” Santos noted. He also commented on the play of his three captains, Sam Rodriguez, Vicente Aguerrevere, and Murilo Santos. “All three of those guys have been instrumental to our team’s success this year, and today was no different.” Rodriguez and Santos both scored twice, while Aguerrevere set the tone at center back with his mental toughness and physical presence. Coach Santos also noted the strong play of Mylo Rosenfeld and Adam Ahmed. Rosenfeld created multiple scoring chances from the wing, and Ahmed was active in net, attacked the ball, and communicated well. All in all, it was a successful season for the team that will graduate ten eighth graders and will need to turn the page next year.
