Fantastic Friday

Segerstrom 3  Orange 0

 

Friday January 15th was the first time this season the Segerstrom soccer teams all recorded a victory on the same day.  The varsity team had a strong battle against a strong adversary in Orange who fought tough in the first half, literally physically bruising some resilient Jaguar players.  Segerstrom held firm and created many first half opportunities, but could not affect the scoring sheet.  Toward the end of the first half however, Edgar Hernandez took a well placed cross from forward Ray Estrada and placed it into the roof of the Panther goal for a well-deserved 1-0 half-time lead.  It was the first goal of the season for Hernandez who has come close on several other occasions.

 

The second half was more of the same as the Orange goalkeeper was forced into many dramatic saves from Ray Estrada and Albert Acosta to name two.  Then Estrada added the second of the game with his 8th goal of the season and Carlos Correa added an insurance goal to seal the deal as the host Jaguars defeated the Panthers 3-0.  Carlos Garcia gave a stellar performance in the Segerstrom goal, and turned away a shot from just outside the penalty area, a save that many pro goalkeepers would proud of.
