Orange Lutheran scores twice in the first 15 minutes and goes on to win its first outright CIF Southern Section boys soccer title.
Lancers coach Mike Oseguera said Pineda’s first goal gave the team momentum it would not relinquish.
“It was our goal to go out there and gas-pedal them immediately,” Oseguera said. “We wanted to put them under pressure constantly. That first goal took all the wind out of their sails and pumped us up.” Orange Lutheran and Littlerock continue the season in the CIF Southern California Regional that begins Tuesday. The regional bracket will be released Sunday.“We just tried to stick together and play as a unit,” Pineda said. “We played like we know how to play.”
The Lancers have won seven of their past eight games. The only loss was to JSerra, which plays in the Division 1 championship game Saturday. Thursday’s game was played in light snow flurries in the first half. The snow and wind increased briefly in the first few minutes of the second half then dissipated.
