Boys soccer team falters in second round

The boys soccer team's season came to end on Tuesday, November 10, when they lost 4-1 to LaSalle in the second round of the state playoffs.

LaSalle scored two quick goals in the first six minutes to take an early 2-0 lead.

At the 25-minute mark, Sebastian Boehm assisted Freddy Gonzalez for a goal and narrowed the gap to 2-1. Boehm passed to Gonzalez on the left from 18 yards out and Freddy hit a rocket shot that blasted into the upper-right corner of the net for the goal.

The Falcons scored a goal on a penalty kick and ended the half with a 3-1 advantage.

LaSalle scored their final goal in the second half on a penalty kick to secure the win.

"They got two penalty kicks, and they were both on questionable goals," said Coach Rob Jensen.

Jensen added, "LaSalle's a tough team but our guys played their hearts out and had a great season. They should be proud of themselves. They never let down."

Jensen noted the outstanding play of goalie Drew Harrison who played with composure and intensity throughout the entire game. Jensen also praised Kevin Marquardt for his work ethic and noted that he gave everything he had at midfield.
