WOODHAVEN HIGH SCHOOL: 3

Monroe boys' soccer season ended last night with a district semi final defeat to hosts Woodhaven. In a repeat of last years final the Warriors proved too strong for a determined Trojan squad.The first half was even with midfields battling for control and a few chances at both ends. Nick Braden saved comfortably from a Woodhaven header and Talen Swinkey hit a dipping shot from a free kick which beat the wall but unfortunately crashed off  the cross bar. The half ended 0-0.

In the second half the hosts seized the advantage with a couple of well taken goals. Monroe switched to defensive line of 3 and pushed Daniel Presa forward into midfield to try to turn the tide. With the defence stretched chances continued to fall to Woodhaven but keeper Nick Braden was in exceptional form and made a series of fine stops. Monroe continued to battle and a shot by Ashton Walker almost halved the lead.  Woodhaven added another before Jovanny Gallegos scored a late goal for Monroe from a corner by Daniel Presa. 

A disappointing result for the boys but a great effort and an entertaining contest in front of a large group of traveling supporters. After the final whistle the center referee Mr Kinselis took time to pass on his thanks and compliment both teams for the high level of play and the spirit of respect and sportsmanship in which the game was played.

Monroe graduates seniors Daniel Presa, Manuel Diaz, Alex Gawel, Ashton Walker, Logan Janes,Nik Heringhausen, Nick Braden and Nick Lieto. Thank you boys and well played.

Season Record 7-12-3.
