Eagles hang on to defeat Griffins 4-3
The Christian Learning boys varsity soccer forged a 4-1 lead over International mid-way through the second half, then survived an attempted Griffin comeback and posted a 4-3 on International´s field Thursday.
Josh Mojica scored twice for the Eagles, while Danny Canaviri and Andre Larsen scored a goal each. The Griffins posted two goals by Diego Nostas and one by Harold Garay. The score at halftime was 2-1 in favor of Christian Learning.
Jaguars pummel hapless Knights 11-1
The Cooperative boys varsity soccer team embarrassed once-proud Cambridge with an 11-1 thrashing on their home field Thursday.
For the Jaguars Jose Manuel Vasquez scored five goals. Juan Carlos Laguna scored twice. Santiago Paz, Juan Alfredo Abuawad, Wilson Salvatierra, and Federico Sauto scored one each.
The game was never in doubt as the Jaguars, moving the ball with ease and facility, scored three times in the first eight minutes, and led 5-0 at the half. The scoring was so fast and furious that the official scorer couldn't keep up with it, and it wasn't until Friday morning that the total number of goals, and the names of the players who scored them, could be straightened out.
Knight star Junior Sanchez was not present because he was playing for the Santa Cruz team in Tarija, and a number of other players apparently decided not to come either. Four of the Cambridge players on the field for the varsity game had previously played the entire junior varsity game.
The first week of the season was a triumph for the Jaguars, who won all the games they played. It was a pathetic start for Cambridge, whose varsity soccer teams were outscored 22-1, and whose varsity volleyball teams didn't win a set. Cambridge's junior varsity volleyball teams and junior varsity girls soccer team didn't show up for their games.
