Middle Park boys soccer defeated Sheridan 4-2 on Wednesday in Denver. The victory on the road follows a 5-1 home win over Lake County on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Panthers got on the scoreboard in the 20th minute when senior Jaime Rios stole the ball and bent a shot around the goal keeper. Then in the 29th minute, Gustavo Galaviz sent a pass to sophomore Adrian Rios, who scored Middle Park\u2019s second goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdrian put a lot of pressure on the Sheridan defense and it frustrated them,\u201d said coach Dane Ruttenberg as he reported the game results. <\/p>\n
Sheridan had a chance to score late in the half during a breakaway on what looked to be an open net. However, senior Vinny Troccoli made a strong slide tackle and blocked the shot.<\/p>\n
\u201cVinny\u2019s play was a game-changer,\u201d said Ruttenberg, explaining going into halftime up 2-0 instead of 2-1 made a huge difference. <\/p>\n
Sophomore Cade Jones slipped a pass to junior Gustavo Galaviz for the Panther\u2019s first goal in the second half before Seth Holestine intercepted a pass, dribbled up the pitch and passed to Jaime Rios, who scored his second goal of the night. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe guys demonstrated incredible resiliency,\u201d Ruttenberg said. \u201cThere were some challenges that were completely out of the boys\u2019 control, and they didn\u2019t let that adversity get to them.\u201d <\/p>\n
The Panthers next game will be at 4 p.m. Wednesday at home.<\/p>\n
