After enduring an 0-3-2 stretch, wins over Parkland and East Forsyth were great for the Davie JV soccer team’s psyche.
The War Eagles climbed over .500 thanks to a 4-1 win at Parkland on Oct. 7. Freshman Ivan Bustamente was masterful, scoring three goals as Davie pulled away after leading 2-1 at halftime. It was Bustamente’s second explosion of the season; he also had a hat trick on Sept. 9.
“His first one, he dribbled around all of the defenders and around the goalie,” coach Chris Ferger said. “The second one was a shot in the top corner. He is very coachable. He’s got a good mentality. He keeps his head down and keeps working.”
The other goal was scored by freshman Talan Andrade, who also had an assist. Emmanuel Perez and Ezra Regalado had one assist each.
“It was a good shot from the right side of the box into the top left corner,” Ferger said of Andrade.
The defense – led by William Martin, Eric Martinez and Josh Baker – played superbly.
“Our defense has been really solid the past four games,” Ferger said. “It shows the improvement from the beginning of the season until now.”
Davie 2, East 0
On Sept. 11, the War Eagles had to work hard to come away with a 1-0 win over East Forsyth. In the rematch at home on Oct. 9, Davie aced the test.
“We actually dominated the entire game,” Ferger said after Davie improved to 6-4-3 overall and 3-3-2 in the CPC. “I was hoping we would get more goals, but I’m perfectly happy with that.”
Martinez and Ronald Perez had both goals in the first half. They were assisted by Andrade and Adren Davis.
“Ronald was one-on-one with the keeper, and he slid it right under the keeper,” Ferger said. “Eric scored a header off a corner kick (from Andrade).”
The defense was fantastic again, Ferger said. Davis and Regalado took care of midfield responsibilities, while Martin, Martinez and Baker brought the fire as defenders.
