Cory Hodge's game-winning goal at the 97th minute on Tuesday advanced the Claremont High School boys soccer team to the CIF Southern Section Division 2 championship match against Capistrano Valley.
The date and time for the championship match was announced earlier this morning as the Wolfpack (20-1-5) will travel to Mission Viejo High School to play the Cougars this Saturday with a 7:30 p.m. start time. Tickets are $9 for general admission and $5 for students with I.D. and children under 13 years of age.
Claremont hasn't enjoyed this much success in the CIF playoffs since the team won the championship in 1994. Coach Fred Bruce-Oliver has said that his team has surpassed his expectations and believes that the level of soccer has changed over the past 17 years.
“My first reaction is that for the longest time, I thought this would never happen again,” said CHS coach Fred Bruce-Oliver. “The level of the game is so high now and there is no team this is dominating anywhere around here. The top team changes from year to year and this was our year."
