Game #24 CIF #2 2/15/23 VS J Serra LOST 4 - 2
In the second round or the quarter-finals of division 1 “Sweet 16” CIF finals number 8 Fullerton hosts the number 1 seed, J. Serra. The team spent time watching J Serra game films, so we knew we had to be sharp and execute because they were big and fast. The game started as expected fast and physical.
The game is 8:00 minutes in when Fullerton surprises everyone with the game's first score. Aiden Bengard makes a great pass to Kenneth Flores who drives the ball to the back of the net. 5:00 minutes later J Serra on a Corner Kick scores to tie the game at 1-1. It takes J Serra only 15:00 minutes more to get their second Corner Kick and score another header off their teams' tall players. FUHS fights back and Aiden Bengard gets taken down in the box for a Penalty Kick. The ball is shot right at the keeper for a save and missed goal. In the 35:00 minute, J Serra scores their third goal on a long shot from 25 yards out. Half-time J Serra is up 3-1. Fullerton has a number of missed opportunities, shots wide, shots off the post, and saves by the keeper, but they keep battling. Not until the 76:00 minute on a FUHS Corner Kick by Kenneth Flores does Talon Oakert score and give Fullerton hope. However, 2:00 minutes later on a tough call, J Serra is awarded a Penalty Kick on a player dropped in the box. Number 91 takes the shot and drives it home for his 3rd goal and the 4th goal of the game. Fullerton loses 4-2 and is eliminated from the playoffs. This is the third year in a row Fullerton made it to the Division 1 Quarter Finals. The Coaching staff is PROUD of the teams' playoff efforts and GREAT season finishing with 18 wins, 4 losses, and 2 ties, scoring 69 goals for and only 18 against.
