San Marcos boys soccer pitched a shutout for the 3-0 victory over Buena at home on Tuesday.
“Buena did a good job pressing us early on and it took a while to play out consistently,” San Marcos coach Paul McLean said. “Senior Yael Garay was excellent tonight when breaking up play and starting our offense.”
Robert Rosales kick-started the Royals by drawing a foul by the Bulldog goalkeeper in the box to set up a penalty kick.
Favian Rosales stepped up and buried the shot to give his squad the early 1-0 lead.
San Marcos never looked back from there, as junior midfielder Jose Ramirez scored the final two goals of the night and the defense did the rest.
“Our backline did a great job limiting Buena’s chances and keeping possession for us,” McLean said. “Senior Javi Elias worked really hard to create chances and come back and defend.”
The Royals (3-2-2, 2-1-2) will resume action on Jan. 9 against Santa Barbara High.
