The varsity boys soccer team defeated the American Eagles 2-1 at Tak Stadium Jan. 15. This is the second game of the season in which WHS had a victory against American. In the previous game, WHS dominated the Eagles with a 5-0 victory.
In this second game, freshman forward Edgar Cerna scored both goals for the Huskies, one of them being off a penalty kick and the other off of a pass given by junior midfielder Daniel Chai.
“We had a lot of opportunities to score, but we couldn’t get the ball [in the goal] as much as we would have liked,” senior midfielder Antonio Garcia said.
At first, American was down 2-0, but they scored a goal in the final two minutes of the game, avoiding another shutout.
Senior goalkeeper Elmer Ceja injured his right quadricep of his leg in the first half and left the game early.
“It’s a minor injury,” he said. “I’ll be back on the field in a couple of days.”
Though the Huskies have struggled inside and outside the MVALS, they look at their victory against American as a momentum- builder for their remaining season. Overall, the Huskies had a total of 11 loses, 2 wins and 2 ties.
