Yesterday, September 30, the boy’s varsity soccer team earned their sixth win of the season, defeating Standley Lake by a score of 4-1. Despite the rainy weather, the team showed tremendous effort and battled hard the whole game.
The first half started strong, with a Littleton goal in the game’s first two minutes. Shortly after, Standley Lake scored, bringing the score to 1-1. After many chances, the half ended tied.
After the half, Littleton came back out ready to win, scoring three goals and ending the game in a 4-1 victory. Goals were scored by senior captain Skye Fanch and junior Miguel Schlote.
Junior goalkeeper Hayden Habitz, who made several outstanding saves throughout the match, shares his input on the game.
“This is kind of like a playoff game for us just because we’re going into it as this is our sixth win, and seven wins gives us a pretty good shot at playoffs, and eight will get us into playoffs, so this was a big game for us,” said Habitz. “We were pretty excited going into it because we thought we had a good chance and we showed it”
“Our last game against Evergreen was the hardest but I’d say we got back on it this game,” said Habitz. “I’d say one of our best games was Ponderosa where Johan Zamora got the game-winning goal in overtime so that was a pretty fun game.”
The team’s next game is against D’Evelyn on October 4th.
