Rain couldn’t hold Senior Luca Vezin and company back from playing hard against Affton Wednesday night. The poor weather delayed the game an hour but that didn’t work as an excuse for the team.
Scoring two goals, one in the 70th minute and one in overtime, Vezin is acclimated to wet turf and he didn’t let the weather faze him.
“We played in similar conditions against West,” Vezin said. “I just mentally stayed focused.”
Assisting Vezin in game winning goal in overtime was Senior Austin Mischel.
“I had the ball on my feet and saw a better opportunity for Luca to score than myself ” Mischel said.
Many of the goals the strikers score are set up by Mischel, and Mischel brings a special attribute to the table.
“He’s a good player and he passes the ball at the right time,” Vezin said. “And soccer is all about timing.”
