The La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School boys soccer team captured its 14th win last Friday in a 3-2 victory over Horizon, moving the Torreys a step closer in their pursuit of first-place Bishop\u2019s School in the Coastal South League. LJCD (14-3-2) seemed snake-bitten early on, hitting the crossbar on three occasions, and had numerous other close misses, but Kees Thompson (two goals) was able to score on a header off a cross by Alex Fleischhacker, while Zach Wolfenzon put in a rebound after a strong shot by Colin Young. \u00a0 With numerous starters out of the game, LJCD did give up two late goals but was able to hold on for the win. \u00a0 “A lot of credit should go to goalkeeper Michael Bailey, who started in spite of a nagging elbow injury and held the Panthers scoreless before leaving the game early in the second half,” LJCD head coach Jerry Fleischhacker said. “Philip Poyhonen held his own in spite of playing in a cast after suffering an arm injury in the previous game.” LJCD (3-1-1) trails Bishop\u2019s (3-0-2) by one point in a closely contested Coastal South. The two will meet this Friday, Feb. 13 at LJCD at 3:30 p.m. In Western League action last week, both La Jolla High and University City were shut out by opponents. La Jolla dropped a 1-0 decision to Mission Bay, while UC fell to Cathedral Catholic 4-0. \u2014 Editor\u2019s note: The Bishop\u2019s School did not respond prior to press time for an update on its team.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
