Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEMbER 19, 2025 Revere High Fall Sports Roundup: Patriots earn key early wins By Dom Nicastro T he Revere High fall sports season is off and running, with boys’ soccer, girls’ volleyball, girls’ soccer and both cross-country squads in action. From strong starts to areas of growth, the Patriots are laying the groundwork for a competitive fall campaign. Boys’ soccer picks up two road wins The boys soccer team, led by Head Coach Gerardo Rodriguez, opened the week with back-to-back victories in Lynn. Revere blanked Lynn Classical 2-0 before earning a 3-1 win over Lynn English. “The Lynn Classical game was 0-0 until the 65th minute and then we made a small tweak and scored two goals in those last 15,” Rodriguez said. “Against Lynn English, we started off 3-0 in the first half and were able to manage the game much better from a perspective of being with a lead.” Rodriguez said the team is learning while winning: “Two solid wins with a lot of room for improvement. But like I tell the boys I would rather be learning and improving while winning than losing,” he said. This week brings a threegame stretch, with a home opener against Everett, another home contest against Chelsea and a non-league matchup back in Lynn versus St. Mary’s. On Friday, the team will bond off the field with a trip to Chestnut Hill to watch Boston College take on No. 5–ranked NC State. Head Coach Emilie Clemons’ squad has been rolling early, improving to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the GBL with three victories this past week. Here’s a look at some wins: • 3-0 win vs. Lynn English: Girls’ volleyball stays unbeaten Dayana Ortega (four kills); Anna Doucette (11 aces, five assists); Susan Lemus Chavez (six assists, two kills); Isabella Arroyave and Samarah Meristal (two kills each). • 3-2 win at Medford: Ortega (14 kills, two aces); Lemus Chavez (four kills, 13 assists); Doucette (13 assists, three aces); Meristal (four kills, five blocks); Haley Peralta (four kills). • 3-1 win vs. Greater Lowell Tech: Meristal (eight kills, two blocks); Ortega (six kills); Lemus Chavez (16 assists, six aces, two kills); Doucette (11 assists, three aces). The Patriots will look to keep the momentum going in a busy stretch of GBL and nonleague play. Girls’ soccer splits the week The girls’ soccer team, coached by Ariana Rivera, went 1-1 last week with contrasting performances. In a 2-1 loss to Lynn Classical, senior captain Nataly Esquivel scored on an assist from Sara Granados, but the Patriots managed just eight shots on goal. Goalkeeper Ajsi Balla finished with five saves. Rivera noted, “We lacked communication throughout the game with spurts of improvement here and there. Looking forward to more leadership and being vocal on the field.” Revere bounced back with a 3-0 shutout of Lynn English. Kesley Morales scored in the first half on a Granados assist, and Esquivel added two second-half goals assisted by Amy Lopez and Granados. The Patriots put 16 shots on net, while Balla earned her first shutout of the season. Rivera praised the defensive work of Sharon Oliva-Folgar and Emily Torres. Boys’ cross-country opens at Chelsea The Revere boys’ cross-country team, coached by Michael Flynn, ran its first race of the season at Chelsea, falling 1940.
