Men’s varsity soccer has dominated at home all season, and the game against Eldorado on Thursday, Oct. 22 was no exception. The Cougars crushed the Sun Devils 4-1.
“I really felt like we had this game. It was definitely a team effort. As soon as we stepped foot on the field in those first minutes, I knew we were going to win,” Preston Judd, junior, said.
With an assist from Michael Schwob, senior, Judd scored first to put the Cougars in the lead 1-0.
The Cougs ended the first half 2-0 after a goal by Steven Kale, senior.
Kale scored another goal to extend Coronado’s lead to 3-0. Eldorado later scored a goal in an attempt to make up some ground.
With 25 minutes left on the clock the Cougars lost their starting left back, Oliver Meza, junior, with a hamstring injury. Meza had to sit out for the rest of the game.
John Lynam, sophomore, brought in the last score of the game to secure 4-1 win.
“I feel like I played pretty good. I passed pretty well and scored a goal. Although I definitely think I could have finished more opportunities,” Lynam said.
