White, Cifuentes fuel Wizards win

Looking for their first victory, the (0-1) Wizards took on the (0-1) Dragons in a week two JCC of Bayonne’s Indoor Soccer Jr. Division showdown. Deadlocked at 0-0 for most of the contest, the Wizards’ Aaliyana Cifuentes and the Dragons’ Lilliana Cordereo ruled the nets flawlessly. The game’s turning point came when the Dragons sent Lilliana Cordero into the offensive ranks and the Wizards took advantage as Adonis White assisted David Matos on the game’s first goal with just 6 minutes remaining. Committed to sparking their offense the Dragons launched 10 shots on net with Brenna Popowski, Michael Cordero, Roman Popowski, and Vikram Balaguru blasting away but the Wizard’s defense held strong. While the Dragons pounded the net, the Wizards relied on pinpoint passing as Jonathan Tom and David Matos assisted Adonis White on two scoring darts as the Wizards took a 3-0 lead with just two minutes remaining. The sudden turn of events caught the Dragons by surprise as they tried to rally back with Raunak Verma getting into the offensive mix but the Wizards answered with sweepers Paige Higgins and Miguel Vargas stonewalling any comeback effort. As the clock hit zero, the Wizards 3 goal explosion proved to be enough as they downed the Dragons 3-0.
