The District 1-4A crown rested on a two-goal win for the Miyamura boys soccer team on Tuesday night.
The Patriots did that as they handed the Bloomfield Bobcats its first district loss this season as Miyamura posted a 2-0 shutout at Angelo DiPaola Memorial Stadium.
“I set a goal for the team, and it was focused on the fact that we needed to win by at least two,” Miyamura coach Delfino Sanchez said. “We could have just gone for the tie and beat them by one, and we could have then prayed for any goal differential between (Bloomfield’s) other district matches, which I think we had the advantage anyway.
“But I told the guys, let’s just win by two goals or more,” he added. “Let’s put a cap on it and go be district champs. We prepared all week for it, and they took it seriously, and they played great tonight.”
With its season win finale, the Patriots finished out the regular season by going 15-5 overall and 7-1 in the district race.
