With it being Will C Wood’s Senior night, the Wildcats brought their best game as well, and the battle was back and forth for the first 10 minutes. Then junior Edwing Saucedo Pacheco pressed on a rebound from a shot by senior Captain Diego Torres to get us the first goal of the game.

Wood followed with their own great play by their #10 to tie things up. Torres and Saucedo weren’t about to let the tie stand and one minute later they teamed up to get the second goal which was finished in the net by Saucedo for his second or the night.

Armijo went to halftime with heads high and some good points to cover and came back even stronger . About 15 minutes into the second half, Torres was able to sink his own goal off an assist from junior Dawson Le. The Royals weren’t done yet and seven minutes later Saucedo was able to get his third goal off another rebound by sophomore David Hernandez.

Play continued to pick up and, with a last minute foul in the box to Will C. Wood, there #13 was able to sink a goal in past our keeper Jackson Harrington to finish the game at 4-2.
