Warrior varsity beats alumni in girls soccer game

Fallbrook High School's girls soccer program had a varsity-alumni game Dec. 22.

"It was good," said current Fallbrook varsity coach Miguel Trejo.

The game drew 17 former Fallbrook players. "It was rainy, it was cold, but the alumni showed up," Trejo said. "It was a good turnout."

Trejo coached the Warrior varsity team while the alumni coached themselves. Since the game did not count in Fallbrook's season record the varsity squad was able to focus on details. "It was a good game for the varsity team," Trejo said.

The varsity players took a 4-0 victory over their predecessors. Jocelyn Urbina, Madi Reynoso, Hannah Diverde, and Lindsay Grant had the goals. The varsity-alumni game utilized 35-minute halves, and the varsity scored twice in each half.

Lauren Reynolds and Precious Garcia have been Fallbrook's goalkeepers for the 2015-16 season, but Garcia was ill and Reynolds played the entire game. Karina Bulli, Lilly Durbin, Grant, and Audrey Petersen were the starting defenders who contributed to the shutout. "Our defense played solid," Trejo said.

The alumni team consisted of Kathleen Mellano, Kathy Reynoso, Roslynn Reynoso, Juanita Lopez, Carmen Hernandez, Janet Orozco, Samantha Branham, Jackie Castaneda, Marissa Lopez, Jenna Murphy, Leslie Orozco, Ana Rojas, Monica Ceja, Peyton Brittain, Savannah McInerny, Nallely Orozco and Leonor Rojas.

The oldest alumni player was 2004 Fallbrook High School graduate Leslie Munoz, who is a former Mexican national team player and still lives in Fallbrook.

"It was a good time," Trejo said.

"A lot of siblings played against each other. Family members played against each other," Trejo said. "The girls had fun."
