Gemma Stamatopoulos and Danni Randall scored for the Patriots. Sonia Haily had over 20 saves on net. Ava Morris and Jordan Martelli were a crucial part of the defense, and Ana Kalliavas had amazing offensive plays up the sidelines, according to Revere coach Alex Butler. “Though we were sad to take a loss, our team did an incredible job playing together against a very experienced team,” Butler said. “We had three players out on the fi eld playing their fi rst fi eld hockey game ever, and they showed so much potential.” Girls soccer tops Somerville Beating last year’s Greater Boston League champs on opening day? Priceless. That’s what Revere girls soccer did, topping Somerville, 2-1, in the home and season opener. Erika Mejia led the way with two goals, the fi rst on a direct kick on a handball and the second unassisted. Each goal came in the opening half. “The defense did a tremendous job throughout the whole game, but specifically in the second half holding Somerville to just one goal scored in the fi rst half,” Revere coach Ariana Rivera said. Keeper Nisrin Sekkat had 10 tough saves. “We hope to see more growth/chemistry between the midfi eld and our forwards,” Rivera said. “Overall, a hard-fought game across the board and a great win against last years’ GBL champs.” Mejia, a captain, is a big help in the midfi eld. She creates a solid foundation both offensively and defensively, the coach said. “Nisrin is much more vocal this season as a captain,” Rivera added. “She’s really taken on the role well and is an impactful voice for us on the defensive end.” Girls volleyball wins one of three The Revere girls volleyball team started the season with some positive news: a win and competitive matches. Revere lost to a good Lynn Classical team, 3-0, and fell, 3-1, to Swampscott. Against Swampscott, Lea Doucette had seven kills and Basma Sahibi had six kills. Susan Lemus Chavez had 13 assists. Isabella Arroyave had seven aces and Samantha Indorato had 15 digs. Revere beat Lynn English, 3-2. Dayana Ortega and Hadassa Dias each had seven kills. Doucette had six kills, and Shayna Smith and Liv Yuong each had fi ve kills. Lemus Chavez had 16 assists, and Indorato had 22 digs. Captains are seniors Doucette and Dias. Doucette is a second-year captain and three-year varsity athlete. “She has learned how to lead the team and give direction and motivation when needed,” Revere coach Emilie Hostetter said. “Hadassa is a returning varsity athlete and a new captain this year. Last season, she demonstrated an enthusiasm for playing and helps to keep the team energized on the court.” Boys golf picks up first win The Revere/Malden golf team topped Everett, 44-28, at Stoneham Oaks for its fi rst win. The team climbed to 1-1 on the season. Frankie Annunziata of Revere, captain Jonathan Wells of Revere, Malden captain Chris Macdonald and Malden’s Tommy Cronin all were winners against Everett. Kyle Nickerson of Malden earned his fi rst start as a freshman. Medford beat Revere/Malden at Cedar Glen, 43-29. In addition to the captains, returning players that will play a key role are Annunziata and Cronin, according to Revere/Malden coach Brandon Pezzuto. “To fi ll in the rest of the lineup we will be asking some new players with less experience to step outside their comfort zone,” the coach added. “The Medford loss was challenging but it’s a great starting point to measure our team’s growth as the season progresses.” Annunziata won, 5-4; Wells won, 5.53.5; and Cronin tied his match, 4.5-4.5. Revere takes on Somerville on Monday, Sept. 16, at Woburn Country Club. Boys soccer starts unbeaten Revere boys soccer, a winning team that made the postseason last year, got right back to it this fall season with wins over Somerville (3-1) and Revere (5-1). “We are a senior-heavy team with nine starters who are seniors,” Revere coach Manny Lopes said. “We have quality coming off the bench as well. We are now 2-0, fi rst time since 2020 we have won our fi rst two games. Still lots of games ahead.” Against Somerville, Santiago Velez had two goals and Francisco Navarette had a goal and two assists to lead the Patriots. Angel Ortez picked up an assist. The scoring breakdown against Lynn Classical: • Patrick Valentim (Nico Ruiz assist) • Ortez (penalty kick) • Kaue Alves (Navarette assist) • Navarette (Leo Andrade assist) • Valentim (unassisted)
