They are ranked quite high on MaxPreps, and we hung tough with them. My team led at halftime and pushed them with everything they had tonight. I\u2019m proud of the fight my team exudes every time out there. We have been in almost every single game but have been unable to cross the finish line in first place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valdovinos took advantage of a Corning miscue in the 24<sup>th<\/sup> minute, a back pass to the keeper. Valdovinos got there first and knocked the ball into the net for a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelseyville led the game until the 48<sup>th<\/sup> minute when Corning pulled even. The Cardinals (5-1-1)n&nbsp; moved ahead to stay in the 58<sup>th<\/sup> minute and added to the lead in the 66<sup>th<\/sup> minute, a goal White called \u201cquestionable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe saved the goal, but the line judge ruled that it crossed the goal line,\u201d White said. \u201cI didn\u2019t have a vantage point to judge, but my players that were there were adamant it didn\u2019t go in. That call didn\u2019t go our way, unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple Kelseyville players went the entire way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlaying 80 minutes is not easy,\u201d White said. \u201cIt required a lot of running, a lot of focus, and a lot of determination to keep fighting, especially when you\u2019ve given up the lead. \u201cWe are becoming stronger mentally at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valdovinos scored his third goal in two games as the Knights fell to 0-8-2 on the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe is beginning to play with urgency as his high school soccer career wraps up,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelseyville opens its North Central League I schedule Thursday in St. Helena. The varsity girls play at 4 p.m. followed by the varsity boys at 6 p.m. on the school\u2019s football field. A junior varsity boys game takes place at 4 p.m. on an adjacent field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valdovinos gives Kelseyville 1-0 halftime lead with unassisted goal Lake County Sports on Facebook CORNING &gt;&gt; Kelseyville scored first for the second game in a row, but the Knights couldn\u2019t get more than Luis Valdovinos\u2019 unassisted goal in the first half of a 3-1 non-league varsity boys soccer loss to the Corning Cardinals on Tuesday [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53,6,17],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1899"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1899"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1899\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1900,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1899\/revisions\/1900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
