Tartan Boys Soccer Through to Second Round After 1-0 Win Over Segerstrom
St. Margaret's prevailed in a wet and wild Div. VI opening game.
St. Margaret's boys soccer program opened the CIF-SS Div. VI postseason with a 1-0 victory over visiting Segerstrom High School on Thursday evening.
With relentless rain and cold conditions, the Tartans had to adapt to poor field conditions and an unpredictable ball all evening. Segerstrom pressed high from the opening whistle, but the Tartans' resolve could not be broken. A scoreless tie sent both teams to the shelter of the locker room to regroup at halftime.
Midway through the second half, the Tartans capitalized on a chaotic clearance attempt by the Jaguars in their own 18-yard box. Grayson Gallegos pounced on the loose ball, fought off a Segerstrom defender, and calmly slotted the eventual game-winner home.
Segerstrom threw everything forward in search of an equalizer, but the Tartan defense stood firm, negating each attempt. Tartan goalkeeper Gio Voccola kept St. Margaret's organized, making key saves under immense pressure. As the final whistle blew, a drenched and exhausted Tartan squad celebrated the hard-fought win and looked forward to the next round.
The Tartans (8-6-5) face Garden Grove (8-9-1) at home in the 2nd Round on Saturday, Feb. 15 at 5 p.m.
