Aberdeen 2, Black Hills 1
(Aberdeen wins 3-1 on penalty kicks)
Aberdeen earned its first league win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Black Hills – 3-1 on penalty kicks – on Thursday at Black Hills High School.
After a scoreless first half, the Bobcats (4-2 overall, 1-1 2A Evergreen) got on the board first when a Cristhian Lopez throw-in was received by defender Javier Lagunas, who sent the ball to the far post.
Senior midfielder Freddy Hernandez sent a header just inside the far post for a 1-0 lead in the 68th minute.
But just two minutes later Black Hills (3-3-2, 1-1) scored a goal off a long direct free kick to tie the game.
After two scoreless overtime periods, Aberdeen took the advantage in the penalty-kick shootout after a Wolves miss followed by a conversion by junior forward Edgar Ceja.
On the next attempt, a Black Hills save followed by a Wolves shot sailing over the crossbar kept Aberdeen in front 1-0 after two rounds.
Lopez then scored followed by a Wolves conversion for a 2-1 Cats lead.
Lagunas scored to make it 3-1, Aberdeen keeper Grady Osina dove to his right to make a save and end the match.
“What a great win for our squad tonight,” Aberdeen head coach Larry Fleming said. “Considering we were already missing three starters due to illness and injuries, then we had two more that couldn’t finish the game, it was a real testament to how players can step up when they have to fill the shoes of others.”
Fleming cited the play of Gibran Garcia and Lopez at midfield, Edgar Garcia on defense, and Nico Hay off the bench for Aberdeen.
The Bobcats JV team won 3-1 on Thursday.
Julio Hernandez scored two goals and Gerardo Servellon added a goal for Aberdeen JV.
The Bobcats play at Shelton at 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
