Glencoe Soccer: The JV's and the Weather Rain on Parkrose

The match started out under pleasant conditions, but then the skies opened the door to the pound to let out all the cats and dogs. For twenty minutes of the second half, buckets and buckets of rain fell, but it did not wash away Glencoe's offense as the lads defeated Parkrose at Hare Field on Thursday 6-0.

Jaun Carlos Hernandez started off the scoring as he took a pass out of midfield from Chad Smith and beat the Parkrose keeper on the right side of goal from fifteen yards. Noe Escalera score the first of his two goals to make it 2-0 as he took the ball off a throw-in deep in the offensive third and wormed his way between three defenders and slid the ball into the net from just outside the right side of the six yard box. Gerardo Delgado also picked up two goals in the match, scoring his first early in the second half off a low, driving cross from the right wing from Anthony Pernisco that found Delgado at the far post just outside the six yard box. Delgado's second came just two minutes later as Christian Briceno slipped a through ball past the Parkrose back line to find Delgado one-on-one with the keeper and beats him on the near post side.

Escalara scored the Tide's fifth as he took the ball off a throw-in from Hernandez and snapped off a quick shot from 22 yards out that snuck between the keeper and the near post. The scoring was closed out when Stuart Crook headed the ball off a Parkrose defender to find the net off a driving cross from Tobi Boehm. Despite the harsh conditions in the second half, the Tide were able to move the ball through midfield with a fair degree of precision and held solid in the back to preserve the shutout.
