Boys Soccer:

Thanks to Maranatha soccer for sending in this report from the Ontario Christian Tournament:

Game 1 of the opening round today was against Arrowhead Christian High School.

Maranatha won 1-0.

The only goal came late in the 2nd half by George Peterson off an assist by Aren Tatevossian.

Goalkeeper Lorenzo Rodriguez kept a clean sheet.

Game 2 of day 1 was against Colony High School.

Colony led at halftime 1-0, but Maranatha came out in the second half with an early equalizer by George Peterson, assisted by Jacob Brantingham.

Colony responded with a second goal, and the goal scorer for Colony was sent off with a red card for taunting the Maranatha Goalkeeker (Lorenzo Rodriguez) immediately after the goal.

Sensing the momentum shift, Maranatha capitalized off a foul in the box, and George Peterson scored from the spot, earning a brace in the match.

Maranatha drew level, but were not done scoring.

With five minutes left, Luca Youssefian put the Minutemen on top for good with a calm finish in the box.

At the closing whistle, the score was 3-2 Maranatha.

Maranatha is back in action tomorrow playing in the semi-final game against Palmdale Aerospace Academy.
