SANTA ROSA >> Roseland University Prep jumped out to a 4-0 halftime lead and cruised past the Kelseyville Knights 9-1 in North Central League I varsity boys soccer action Saturday at Sonoma Academy High School in Santa Rosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jake Smart\u2019s goal in the second half, assisted by Luis Valdovinos, allowed Kelseyville (0-2-1 league, 1-13-3 overall) to avoid the shutout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFirstly, I want to applaud RUP on the excellence of their team of their athletes,\u201d Kelseyville head coach KC White said. \u201cThey are most definitely the most talented team we have faced this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added White, \u201cWe could have easily had a few more goals today, which may have changed the game a little bit. After a while, when a team scores nine goals on you, you lose the motivation to continue to compete, which led to a few goals at the end. We started pretty well, but then we stopped marking on defense and it led to open guys making runs on the goal. In the first half.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart\u2019s goal in the second half was clearly the highlight for the Knights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe goal was scored on a beautiful pass by Luis Valdovinos back from deep within the zone to a cutting Jake Smart, who put the easy goal in,\u201d White said. \u201cThat particular goal makes me extremely happy as it was something we worked on in practice yesterday after not being able to capitalize on similar attempts on Thursday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going up against RUP (3-0, 5-2-2) at less than full strength didn\u2019t help, according to White.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had a short bench today as I had multiple players miss the game due to family events, which led to a lot of tired guys,\u201d White said. \u201cRUP is not the team you want to play underhanded.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelseyville resumes league play Tuesday against St. Helena. The game will take place at Clear Lake High School in Lakeport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe dropped a 2-0 decision at St. Helena a couple weeks ago, so this is a date that we have had circle,\u201d White said. \u201cWe will be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junior varsity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelseyville\u2019s junior varsity team fell 6-0 to RUP, dropping to 0-2 in league and 0-5 overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had a guy in goal today that has never played there before because my starter didn\u2019t show up,\u201d White said. \u201cIt\u2019s really unfortunate because that decision just lets the entire team down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added White, \u201cWe created chances, but couldn\u2019t convert. The second half was another story. The effort for a lot of the guys was lacking. If there is something that irks me the most when I\u2019m coaching, it\u2019s not putting effort in. This is a young team and every minute of game time is important for their development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White praised the effort of Jayden Fabisch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJayden Fabisch is my starting keeper on varsity, but I have put him in the field the last couple games for JV and he has impressed me,\u201d White said. \u201cHowever, with the move to fall soccer next year, it will be one and done for Jayden as his passion is football. I\u2019m proud of him for coming out and trying something new this year. The same can be said for Roman Mathis. He is playing soccer for the first time and is one of the few JV players that plays the entire game. It\u2019s been nice to get to know him this year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
