WILLITS >> Two more goals from a red-hot Jari Inostroza Carrillo along with single goals from teammates Sebastian Cacho and Diego Rico helped lift the Kelseyville Knights to a 4-0 victory over the Willits Wolverines in North Central League I boys soccer action Tuesday in Willits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelseyville (3-0-1 league, 8-4-2 overall) had a tough time shaking the Wolverines, who trailed just 1-0 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe final result was good, but getting there was a struggle,\u201d Kelseyville head coach Kc White said. \u201cThe period of time from the 10th<\/sup> minute to about the 60th<\/sup> minute was a total slog. We got away from what we do best and started playing the type of game Willits wanted us to play. The last 20 minutes were played at our pace and style, and the difference was very evident.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jake Smart\u2019s assist set up Carrillo\u2019s first goal, that coming in the 10th<\/sup> minute for a 1-0 Kelseyville lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs far as good soccer in the first half, that was the extent,\u201d White said. \u201cWe played a lot of kick ball.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The absence of Gerardo Garcia from the Kelseyville lineup definitely hurt the Knights, according to White.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe had a minor injury yesterday in practice and we held him out as a precaution,\u201d White said of Garcia, who starts on the back line for the Knights. \u201cWe had to move Luis Alvarado to play center back today, which led to holes in the middle. Luis is such a good distributor. He really sets everything up for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knights continued to struggle throughout the first 20 minutes of the second half before things began to fall into place. Rico\u2019s assist set up Carrillo\u2019s second goal of the game in the 59th<\/sup> minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom that point on, we were on it,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cacho knocked one in from the box after taking a cross from Omar Mercado Marquez to give Kelseyville a 3-0 lead in the 67th<\/sup> minute. Four minutes later Rico completed the scoring with an assist from Cacho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat goal was pretty and most welcomed,\u201d White said. \u201cDiego has been working so hard, and the shots just have not been finding the back of the net. He finally broke through today and got the monkey off his back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrillo has six goals in his last four games for the Knights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is his first year playing with me,\u201d White said. \u201cHis main love is basketball, so when we made the switch (from winter soccer) to the fall, I begged him to play. He is one of those athletic guys who could play any sport and be the best player out there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelseyville is off until next Tuesday when it travels to Middletown for a 4:30 p.m. game with the Mustangs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other boys soccer action Tuesday:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fort Bragg 4, Upper Lake 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Upper Lake, the Upper Lake Cougars fell to the Fort Bragg Timberwolves (2-0-1, 9-4-2) in NCL I play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaden Nunez scored for the Cougars (0-4, 3-9) with an assist from Eric Tinoco. Alan Alvarado had nine saves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe played hard against a great team,\u201d Upper Lake head coach Thomas Santana said. \u201cThey move the ball well and found the holes in our defense. We struggled to gain a lot of attack in the first half.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After falling behind 3-0, Santana said the Cougars decided to change things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe started creating more offense when I moved Jaden from midfield to striker, and moved my right mid, Emmanual Tapia, to center mid,\u201d Santana said. \u201cEmmanuel was creating more movement for us in the mid and the offense started to open up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upper Lake\u2019s goal came in the 79th<\/sup> minute when Tinoco crossed the ball to Nunez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur keeper, Alan Alvarado, had a great game,\u201d Santana said. \u201cHe had nine saves and received high praise from the Fort Bragg coach and players for his performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
