#1 Seeded Boys Soccer Keeps Winning! Top-seeded Rincon/University

quickly disposed of No. 16 Gilbert

Higley on Wednesday night for its

12th straight win, earning a trip to

the Division II state quarterfinals.

The Rangers, who won 5-0, host

No. 9 Phoenix Sunnyslope on Sat-

urday at 2 p.m.

Rincon/University controlled the

pace of play Wednesday night with a

quick score by senior Jesus Ruiz in

the seven minutes into the match.

Freshman forward Sam Lossou then

tacked on two goals a minute apart

to give Rincon a 3-0 lead heading

into halftime.

“I was just tired of not scoring,”

Lossou said of his first postseason

action. “I wasn't getting much play-

ing time and today I just stepped up

and scored. It just gives us more

intensity and energy to put more in

the second half.”

Seniors Brian Vu and Chris Cooper

added goals in the second half to

put the match out of reach. Senior

goalkeeper Cole Hoffer, who had a

relatively easy day thanks to a

stout Ranger defense, made 11

saves, including a big one on

a penalty kick late in the second

half to preserve Rincon/University’s 11th

shutout.

“Our defense was the most organized its

been all season,” Hoffer said. “Once the

defense settled in and took over our of-

fense had free reign.”

Hoffer, who has been on varsity all four

seasons, helped the Rangers record

their first postseason win in his four-year

tenure. Hoffer believes mentally, getting

this victory out of the way will help Rin-

con/University in the second round.

“They know what it is and means to win

a playoff game,” Hoffer said. “It off their

shoulders, now its just game-after-

game.”
