(Advocate Photos by Emily Harney) ton League (GBL) home opener, and it was played under the lights at Everett Veterans Memorial Stadium. “It was an exciting night to get back under the lights, and face a familiar rival at the same time,” said coach Rodney Landaverde. “We possessed the ball, and were able to fi nd each other frequently (with connecting passes) on the fi eld. We did concede a goal on a corner kick about 20 minutes into the game, but the boys got it back quickly, when freshman Miguel Santos scored after the Malden goalkeeper fumbled the ball.” After scoring that tying goal, the momentum shifted in Everett’s favor. In the second half, the Tide was much more organized, according to Landaverde, and it led to what turned out to be the game-winning goal by junior Kevin Renderos on a penalty kick. A short time later, sophomore Saymon Coelho got loose in the box, and was able to net the all-important insurance tally to account for the fi nal score. Everett was able to win this game on the backs of three players, who netted their first varsity goals. “Throughout the remaining 20 minutes of the game, we controlled the ball, and were able to fi nish strong to secure our fi rst win of the year,” said Landaverde. It was now time to take a short trip down the Parkway to Chelsea Stadium to go up against the Red Devils. “This was a very diffi cult game for us,” said Landaverde. “From the beginning, we struggled to possess the ball. We could not fi nd each other like we usually do with our passing combinations and midfi eld rotations. “Chelsea was able to take advantage of every opportunity to lead at halftime, 3-1,” added the second-year Everett coach. Junior Whitney Pereira scored the lone Everett goal on a free kick from classmate Kevin Renderos. It was his second career varsity marker. “We played a bit better in the second half, but still had a tough time putting plays together,” said Landaverde. “We did not play to our strengths, and ended up paying for it.” After the aforementioned close loss to Revere to begin this week, the Everett boys faced Lynn English on Sept. 17 after press deadline. They then returned home to get ready to play host to non-league Methuen at the Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 20, starting at 3 p.m. Girls even record at three After dropping their first three games of the season, the Everett High School girls soccer team rattled off three straight wins to even its record at 3-3.
