PREP ROUNDUP: West Point sweeps New Hope

Published 9:42 pm Monday, March 7, 2022

West Point’s soccer squads recorded a section sweep of New Hope on Monday night.

The boys secured a 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Jacob Bencze and Omar Segundo.

Joel Guzman and Ryan Douglas notched assists, while Kanen Trussell produced the shutout for the Warriors, who improved to 5-4 this season and 2-1 in area play.

The five wins marks the highest total of victories for West Point’s program.

“I am extremely proud of the boys,” coach Jacob Brown said. “I know five wins may not seem like a lot to most, but to us it was our No. 1 goal — to be the best West Point team thus far. These boys came in determined to change the culture and gain recognition as a soccer program, and they have done that in every single game with many games to go. I could not be prouder.”

The Lady Warriors, meanwhile, moved to 5-3, 2-1 on the back of Kyli Armistead’s hat trick.

Hope Lee provided the other goal, while Kaedince Cagle (two) and Vanesa Garcia (one) had assists.

“Our defense really set the tone for our team with aggressive coverage that freed up our midfield to focus on controlling our possessions and feeding our forwards,” coach Rob Whitesell said. “It was a great team win over last year’s No. 2 area finisher.”
