Dos Pueblos boys soccer played in a pair of matches to begin the Cats and Hounds Tournament in Paso Robles on Friday.
The Chargers began the day with a 1-1 draw with Lemoore and rounded it out with a 2-0 victory over Coast Union.
Against Lemoore, Tiago Rodriguez scored Dos Pueblos’ lone goal in the 10th minute off a rebound that ricocheted off the opposing goalkeeper.
Lemoore secured the equalizer five minutes into the second half and both defenses stood strong for the rest of the match.
In the win over Coast Union, both teams remained scoreless heading into halftime.
Early in the second half, Andrew Gomez broke the tie with a goal from 25 yards out that grazed the crossbar and found the back of the net.
Then, with five minutes left in the match, Kaj Laub separated himself from defensive pressure and crossed a shot past the goalie, knocking the ball off the post and into the goal to secure the 2-0 lead and eventual win.
Along with the goal scorers, Luka Jevremovic and Ryan Curtis turned in solid performances on the day as well.
The wins gave the Chargers (1-0-2) the top seed in their pool, setting them up for a semifinal match on Saturday at 10 a.m.
