seahawks hang tough in 3-2 loss
The men's soccer team left it all on the field Tuesday afternoon in the second round of the COA State Playoffs at South Coast Conference rival Cerritos, but a late goal by the Falcons was the difference as Harbor lost 3-2.
Harbor (14-6-3) stayed with Cerritos for the full 90 minutes, responding with a goal on two occasion: in the 28th minute by Alex Chavez and by Moises Balderas in the 74th minute by penalty kick.
Greg Willams had seven saves, including a leaping save in the 82nd minute off a corner kick by Cerritos, but couldn't prevent the fastbreak a minute later that resulted in the deciding goal for the Falcons.
Harbor had quite a successful season, winning eight in a row after losing a tough game at top-seeded Rio Hondo College on August 31. Chavez and Eric Medina combined for 35 goals and 22 assists for the year, while Williams was stellar with 35 goals allowed in 23 games.
