The boys varsity soccer team played against University School on Jan. 10 at Tropical Park. To kick off the game, co-captain senior George Lombard scored a goal with an assist from senior Enrique Mesejo. “Scoring the first goal of the game really boosted my confidence and got me hyped. I could have done it without Enrique helping me, though,” Lombard said.

The team worked collectively, helping one another. The next goal was scored by senior Franco Garcia-Morillo, with an assist from Joaquin Beker Flah.

“I always try to help my teammates whenever can, especially with goals. We are a team, and we work like one,” Beker-Flah said.

As the game progressed, the team encountered a bump in the road. Junior Cosme Salas suffered an injury, so he had to sit out for the remainder of the game. However, the team bounced back.

“I did not get injured, but being taken out frustrated me and the team, but we moved on. Putting in Gabriel was an immaculate come back,” Salas said.

The last goal was scored by Mateo-Acosta Rubio with an assist from Taro Ochi.

“Over the season we all created a beautiful chemistry, which lead to scoring goals. The team understands each other and we ooze confidence. Making that goal was definitely memorable for me,” Acosta-Rubio said.
