PIERRE WEIL / THE CHRONICLE. The Cottage Grove Lions boys soccer team poses after securing the Sky-Em League title with a 2-2 draw at Marist Catholic last week.
COTTAGE GROVE – The No. 6 Cottage Grove Lions boys soccer team went into last Wednesday’s match at No. 11 Marist Catholic needing a win or draw to claim the Sky-Em League title. Down 2-1 late, junior Tristyn Burnes scored a goal with 80 seconds left to give the Lions a draw and clinch the program’s first league title since 2017.
“It means everything. It’s a testament to the work that guys have put in, you know, throughout the preseason, and all through the season itself,” said Jaime Urenda, Cottage Grove’s first-year head coach. “They’ve worked hard. They’ve earned it, each and every one of them. They knew coming in here what it meant, and you saw that out there with the perseverance.”
After a scoreless first half, Javi Sandoval-Gongora broke the tie for Marist in the 65th minute. The final five minutes had the real action, though, as Cottage Grove’s Eli Williams tied the game in the 75th minute with a header.
“We worked hard, we knew we needed the win or the tie coming into it, or we’d risk having to play in another play-in game,” Williams said. “We just wanted to break off of that and be able to go straight to the playoffs with some momentum.”
