The boys were tired and we had a lot of little bumps bruises. With only 12 players it was hard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added Santana, \u201cAt halftime I asked them to empty the tank and give me everything that had left, and they really did that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emmanual Tapia scored on a header in the second half with an assist from Jaden Nunez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJaden, who is normally our striker, got asked to move to defense and he really helped out a lot,\u201d Santana said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alan Alvarado finished with six saves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>St. Bernard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upper Lake scored its first win of the season early Saturday with a 3-2 win over St. Bernard.
