After an important 2-1 win against the Buchanan Bears prior, the Madera South Stallions boys soccer team was unable to keep the momentum going after a close, 3-2 loss to the Clovis East Timberwolves in overtime.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Timberwolves came into the match undefeated, but the Stallions gave the Clovis natives a lot to think about.<\/p>

<\/p>

Madera South\u2019s Raul Arzola and Gerardo Beccera led the way as they chipped in a goal apiece, but it wasn\u2019t enough as a late strike in overtime allowed the visitors to leave Monday\u2019s match with the victory.<\/p>

<\/p>

Age has been a theme for the Stallions this year with a small group of seniors and a large group of underclassmen, but this season the team has been more than able to meet the moment.<\/p>

<\/p>

Monday\u2019s match showed glimpses not only of the talent within the Madera South ranks with the County\/Metro Athletic Conference season around the corner.<\/p>

<\/p>

Madera South\u2019s Beccera had himself a day. Along with the goal, the Stallion playmaker knifed his way through Clovis East defenders at will.<\/p>

<\/p>

In the first half, Beccera showed his pace and control with a dominant run. The Stallion intercepted a pass at the midfield mark before galloping 30 yards down the field before he was fouled in the Clovis East final third.<\/p>

<\/p>

Luis Diaz took the free kick from 20 yards out and nearly snuck the ball in high over the keeper but the Timberwolves were able to react, saving a goal.<\/p>

<\/p>

Clovis East returned the favor with point-blank chance at Stallions\u2019 goalkeeper Ishmal Ambriz, but Ambriz stood tall to deny Clovis East the opening goal.<\/p>

<\/p>

A ball into the box deflected off both a Stallion and a Timberwolves\u2019 forward and into the air. The ball caused both teams to react, nearly sending the ball into the Stallions\u2019 net during the confusion.<\/p>

<\/p>

That wasn\u2019t the first big save Ambriz had in the first half as he saved a free kick from 20 yards out early in the match.<\/p>

<\/p>

As the half winded down, Ambriz linked up with Raul Arzola as he booted a ball over 30 yards down the field.<\/p>

<\/p>

The ball bounced into the East final third as Arzola raced under the ball, but couldn\u2019t find the right contact as the ball bounced high, forcing a header over the keeper.<\/p>

<\/p>

Unfortunately, the ball didn\u2019t reach his target as the Timberwolves cleared the ball out of danger.<\/p>

<\/p>

The teams went into the half tied 0-0, but that didn\u2019t last long as the Timberwolves scored early in the second half. Madera South didn\u2019t panic as they leveled things just 12 minutes later in the 65th minute.<\/p>

<\/p>

Madera South orchestrated a devastating counter attack as Javier Buenrostro served his teammate up on a platter with a perfect pass to Beccera streaking up field, looking for the equalizer.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Stallions battled to a 1-1 score, but there was still much to come from both clubs in extra time.<\/p>

<\/p>

Madera South and Clovis East were determined to take the victory after 80 minutes of back and forth, high-intensity soccer.<\/p>

<\/p>

However, in the end, Madera South couldn\u2019t overcome two goals in extra time despite a penalty goal by Arzola.<\/p>

<\/p>

Despite the 3-2 loss in extra time to Clovis East and a narrow 1-0 loss to the Central Grizzlies on Wednesday, Madera South looks battled tested and ready for a new league year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
