EVENTS| SEE PAGE 15 Crimson Tide Soccer Weekly Update By Joe McConnell Girls on a roll A fter starting off the season with three straight losses, the Everett High School girls soccer team (3-1 in the Greater Boston League, 4-3 overall) won its next four, including last week’s home games at 7 Acres against Revere (3-2) and Lynn English (1-0). The win against Revere on Sept. 16 was a tight, tension-filled game, according to coach Dom Persuitte. The Tide scored the lone goal in the first half after a back-post run by Connie Paz Hernandez, where Odalis Sandoval crossed the ball to her, before she knocked it home. The Everett girls dominated the entire half, but still only scored the one goal. Revere, with renewed hope, came out firing on all cylinders in the second half. They scored two goals in five minutes to take the lead, and it looked like they had come back to life after a sluggish start. However, the home team was able to tie the game up with a shot from 20 yards out by Sofia Arana-Quintanilla. With less than a minute left, Sandoval was blatantly taken out in the penalty box, and as a result a penalty kick was awarded to the Tide. Arana-Quintanilla then stepped up and smashed the ball past the keeper to account for the game-winning goal. “Every one of my players stepped up and played well,” said Persuitte afterwards. “This win against Revere is a massive boost of motivation for us.” Lynn English came to town two days later to face the Tide, and this game turned into another nailbiter. This one, however, took nearly 80 minutes before the host team put another one in the win column. “I have nothing to say about this game, except that Lynn English did a great job, and their goalie kept them in it,” said Persuitte. “We didn’t score until there was just five seconds left in the game, when Odalis Sandoval scored the goal on a direct shot on net. The ball went under a defender’s foot, and the goalie did not react fast enough, before it went into the net.” After taking on Lynn Classical (Sept. 23) and Somerville (Sept. 25) on the road after press deadline, the Everett girls will begin next week with a game at Medford High School on Tuesday (Sept. 30) at 4:15 p.m. They will then return home to play host to Malden at 7 Acres two days later (Oct. 2) at the same time. More close calls for the boys he Crimson Tide boys (1-42) are still trying to figure things out in the early going. Their losses could have gone either way, and second-year coach Rodney Landaverde certainly hopes that they reverse the trend, as the calendar flips to a new month next week. Last week, the Crimson Tide T dropped a couple of GBL road matchups to Revere (3-2) on Sept. 16 and Lynn English (3-1), the very next day, before they battled non-league Methuen to a 1-1 tie at Everett Veterans Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Against Revere, Landaverde was pleased with the team’s start, and it resulted in a goal by junior Whitney Pereira, who fired off a 25-yard blast that eluded the Patriots’ goaltender. The lead was able to stand up throughout the first half, and early on in the second half, before Revere took advantage of an Everett penalty to tie up the proceedings. The momentum was shifting, and it resulted in the go-ahead goal by the Patriots. But the Everett boys were able to regroup, and at that point the game went back and forth. With 12 minutes left on the clock, sophomore Daniel Henriquez got his team’s first real good scoring opportunity in the second half, and capitalize on it after sending a cross from the right wing to senior captain Gabriel Garcia, whose header knotted up the scoreboard, once again.
