THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2025 Page 17 RHS PATRIOTS SPORTS FALL ROUNDUP By Dom Nicastro Revere boys’ soccer advances to Round of 32 as fall teams wrap strong seasons S everal Revere High School fall sports teams closed out impressive campaigns this past week in the postseason. The boys’ soccer team is the lone team that got a playoff win, advancing to the Division 2 Round of 32, while the girls volleyball squad’s return to state tournament play, a historic fi eld hockey turnaround and standout postseason performances in girls’ cross-country highlighted the past week. Boys’ soccer eyes upset after tournamentopening win T he Revere boys’ soccer team earned a 3-2 victory over Southeastern Regional Voke at home on Nov. 3, clinching a spot in the Round of 32 and setting up a matchup against top-seeded and three-time defending Division 2 state champion Oliver Ames (12-1-3). That contest was scheduled for Nov. 5 in North Easton (after press time). The Patriots fi nished the regular season 9-3-5 and entered the postseason as the No. 32 seed in the 39-team bracket. Last year, Revere reached the Division 2 Elite Eight before falling to Wakefi eld, 1-0. Head Coach Gerardo Rodriguez said this year’s group faced adversity late in the season but found its footing at the right time. “The last three weeks have been challenging,” he said. “We ended up letting go of our lead in the GBL and losing the league to Chelsea, but we had a big win at Central Catholic and responded well against Southeastern.” Rodriguez said his team’s success depends on fi nding consistency. “We’ve been inconsistent,” he said. “We play really well against strong opponents and then let our guard down against teams we should beat. That’s on me to make sure their mindset is right, but I’m confi dent we’re ready for this challenge.” Senior striker Patrick Valentim, who scored 20 goals this season, was named a Greater Boston League All-Star alongside senior midfielder Abel Aklog. Rodriguez said both will be crucial in the tournament. “If Patrick gets into a good, hot form like he did for a stretch there, we’ll be tough to stop,” he said. “And when we’re locked in defensively, we’re a hard team to break down.” Field hockey celebrates milestone season he Revere field hockey team closed out its first postseason appearance since 2018, fi nishing the year 10-71 after falling 8-0 to Bishop T Stang in the preliminary round of the Division 2 tournament. The Patriots also captured the Greater Boston League title with a 3-0-1 record. First-year Head Coach and former Revere player Victoria Correia credited her senior group for the turnaround. “They’re go-getters,” she said. “Whatever they wanted, they worked for. They kept pushing and believed in what we were building.” Senior captain Isabella Mendieta set a program record with 22 goals this season and 56 for her career, while fellow captains Gemma Stamatopoulos and Ava Morris anchored the midfi eld and defense. Senior goalie Sonia Haily delivered several standout performances, helping Revere record multiple shutouts. Correia said her fi rst year was both a learning experience and a rewarding one. “I couldn’t be prouder of how the season RHS | SEE Page 21 ~ HELP WANTED ~ Type of Person Needed: * Are you an experienced/willing to learn, motivated person looking for a shop where your skills can be valued? services and public State inspection services.
