On October 29th, the U14 Boys Cyclones soccer team took on Sterling Hall School in a gripping quarterfinal match, fighting for a spot in the final four. Right from the kickoff, the Cyclones showcased strong ball movement and unified team play across the field. Thomas Pitts stepped up early, setting the tone and leading the team by scoring the opening goal. Sterling Hall managed to level the score, but CDS reclaimed the lead just before halftime.
In a tense second half, Sterling Hall battled back, tying the game 2-2. Seizing a key moment, Ricky Ren '30 netted a crucial goal, pushing the Cyclones ahead once more. However, the Cyclones faced a setback when center-back Logan Liu '30 had to leave the field. Sterling Hall capitalized on this, finding gaps to secure the win.
Despite the tough outcome, it was a season of remarkable growth. Coaches O'Connor and Dilworth are proud of the team’s resilience and progress. Cyclones, don't forget to return your uniforms promptly! Great season, boys!
