Goalies Olyad Debo, Ian Rice and Jon Frizzell all contributed great performances this week in big games for the Riverstone soccer program. On Tuesday, April 7 Ian Rice and Jon Frizzell combined to limit a much bigger and physical Sons of Wellington team to four goals, ensuring that Steven Egeler and Ian Cherny’s combined 5 goals were good enough for the win. Outweighed by 30 pounds, but refusing to give up his ground, Ian Rice withstood several collisions with hard-charging Wellington forwards. Jon Frizzell stepped in to give Ian a chance to gather himself after a particularly hard hit and then supported the team on the field, coming close to scoring a few goals of his own from the midfield position. On Wednesday, April 8, 7th grader Olyad Debo had his first shut-out performance for the Middle School Otters. The 3-0 shut-out performance was particularly impressive considering that it included a penalty shot save in the second half. Appropriately, when the final whistle blew, it was with the ball in Olyad’s hands.
Congratulations to all three of Riverstone’s netminders!
