BOYS SOCCER | A disappointing season to say the least

As a result of losing all eight league matchups, the team is the lowest seed in its division.

By Christopher Linares, Staff Writer • May 18, 2022

The team faces a difficult re-build in order for a chance to win at a higher rate next season

Sitting at dead last — seventh — in league standings, the boy’s varsity soccer team has struggled to remain competitive throughout the current season, barely managing a win.

As a result of losing all eight league matchups, the team is the lowest seed in its division. Overall, the team is 3-14-2 against their opponents with only one home win, two away wins and two ties.

Despite being the lowest-ranked team in the Valley Mission League, the boys somehow advanced to the CIF playoffs by winning a wildcard game against the Bernstein Dragons, 5-2.

In their first game, the boys were knocked out by the Elizabeth Bulldogs by a single goal.
