BOYS SOCCER
Carson blanks Damonte
The Senators tuned up for their Wednesday showdown with Wooster by shutting out Damonte Ranch, 6-0, Saturday afternoon.
“We started off a little slow and sloppy,” coach Frank Martinez said. “After we scored our first goal, we controlled the game with possession and great passing.”
Angel Gonzalez scored Carson’s first goal, and then Isael Lopez made it 2-0 in the 22nd minute.
“We had a few more looks but we couldn’t capitalize,” Martinez said. “The second half we looked good, but didn’t score until the 70th minute.
Julio Loera scored off a corner kick by Lopez. Ronnie Elliott assisted on Efren Ramirez’s goal in the 73rd minute to make it 4-0. Danny Escalante scored off a Ramirez assist to make it 5-0 in the 76th minute, and Ismael Mendoza scored on a through ball with two minutes left in the contest.
“The true test will come on Wednesday,” Martinez said. “I’m looking forward to it because it has become a great rivalry.”
