Michael Luckhurst uncorked a 30-yard scorcher for an equalizing goal early in the second half and Bishop Diego added two more goals in 3-1 defeat of Foothill Tech in a Tri-Valley League boys soccer match on Thursday.
Luckhurst buried his shot into the bottom left corner to ignite the Cardinals.
“From here on out, we controlled the flow of play with excellent performances from Michael Romero and Luke Williams,” said coach Mick Luckhurst.
Romero tallied the go-ahead goal and Michael Luckhurst finished the scoring.
“Our players knew this would be a difficult game and they showed tremendous character and toughness throughout,” said coach Luckhurst. “Over the past 18 months, Coach Christy Gates-Bowes has worked diligently on the team’s technical skills and his coaching was very evident in their play today.”
Bishop faces another tough match on Tuesday, hosting Cate.
