LJ b soccer 3, Mt. Miguel 1 - 12/1
By Ed Piper
La Jolla rode an early goal by junior forward Michael Solkhon, then a go-ahead goal by senior Marco Lopez after the match was tied in the second half by Mt. Miguel, to a 3-1 victory in the new season Mon., Dec. 1.
On students' first day back from a week-long fall break, fourth-year coach Pilar Flores' team showed aggressiveness and energy in the midfield to put the visiting Matadors into a lit bit of disarray. Senior Julian Zavala, the place-kicker on the Vikings' football team, piled on by adding a score on a penalty kick with six minutes left as La Jolla won going away.
Goalkeeper Joseph Crudo, decked out in a bright pink jumpsuit with black leggings and pink socks, opened his junior season by diving in front of the goal and fending off all but the lone goal. His kicks to clear the ball were outstanding as well.
