Senior Emilio Ruggiero sent a through ball to streaking freshman midfielder Aaron Rubio, who one-timed it in for a 65th-minute goal to lift the Bishop Diego boys soccer team to a 1-0 win over visiting Cate on Saturday.
Junior keeper Garrett Garcia posted the shutout for the Cardinals, while center midfielders Ryan Landerson and Ray Nowak held strong in the middle.
Coach Jesus Landeros said that on the occasion when the Rams managed to get the ball to Bishop’s side of the field they were met by the strong defense of Sam Verhasselt, Brad Waples and David Pilkington.
The Cardinals play at Villanova next Tuesday.
