The Bishop’s School Knights and La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) Torreys battled to a 2-2 tie in a boys Coastal League soccer game played at LJCD on Feb. 11. “It was a well-played game,” said Torreys coach Jerry Fleischhacker.  “We played with a lot of heart and effort.” The hard work paid off in the form of an early goal from junior Alejandro Amescua to open up a 1-0 advantage for Country Day. “We’ve got two or three injured players,” said Bishop’s coach Malcolm Tovey. “But, the rivalry between these two schools is such a good one.” The game was also a good one, with a goal by Knight senior captain Tyler Evans evening the score at 1-1 with just under 30 seconds left in the first half. “It was a gutsy performance,” said Tovey. “It got a little bit physical at times.” Senior Adam Malkiewicz showed some toughness, getting tangled up with a teammate and Torrey defenders before tipping in a goal that would give Bishop’s a 2-1 bulge heading into halftime. “We’ve had a lot of injuries this year,” said Fleischhacker. “We lost three players for the season.  So, we had three freshmen playing in the game today.” But it was senior captain Hunter Khaleghi, knotting it at two apiece for LJCD by scoring with just under 25 seconds remaining in the second half.   “Hunter scored a great tying goal,” said Fleischhacker. “[The Knights] are a very good team. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for us. We’ve improved a great deal and we don’t give up a lot of goals.”   Khaleghi was recently named one of the San Diego Section’s City Athlete’s of the Week by the San Diego Hall of Champions and the San Diego Union-Tribune.  In addition to the goals by Amescua and Khaleghi, Country Day also got an assist from senior Daniel Faierman. Besides the goals by Evans and Malkiewicz, Bishop’s also received assists from sophomores Robin Park and Sean Blake and three saves each from goalkeepers Brent Rossin and Christian Guinchard. With the tie, the Torreys now have a record of 13-5-4 overall and 4-2-1 in the Coastal League, while the Knights are at 11-1-2 overall and 4-1-2 in Coastal League play.
