Lexi Platz

The Clark girls soccer team struck early and often on Friday keeping the Stevens goalkeeper busy with 22 saves. There were also plenty of Cougar shots in the back of the net as Clark dominated in a 5-0 victory. Monique Rempel had two goals and Alyssa Jacobs, Lexi Platz and Andrea Del Valle came away with one each. Adding assists were Frances Moore, Kendall Traa, Kallie Doherty and Caroline Veltman. The defense secured the shutout as Kendall Kotara and Katie Troilo split time in goal.

The win evens Clark’s district record at 1-1 and brings them to 5-4-2 for the season so far.

Following the girls’ victory the boys team had a shut out of their own beating Steven 2-0. Jaron Bustillo-Pineda scored both goals for the Cougars and Manuel Garcia assisted both times. Clark is still undefeated at 1-0-1 in district play and 6-0-2 for the season.

Up next both teams face Taft on Tuesday at Farris. The boys start things off at 5:00 and the girls play at 7:00.

Northside ISD boys soccer heavyweights Clark and Jay battled to a 0-0 tie on the pitch over the weekend. The defensive battle in gusty winds was in sharp contrast to the first match up between the two teams on January 31st, which Jay won in the closing seconds 4-3. Saturday’s game leaves the Mustangs in first place with a 9-0-2 record and Clark right behind them at 9-1-2.

The news was better for the Clark girls who beat Jay 2-0 with goals from Blair Socha and Kendall Traa. Action resumes for both teams on Friday with games against Warren at the Northside fields on Loop 410 and Culebra. Girls start at 5:00 and the boys at 7:00.
