Monroe Boys' soccer split their two games at the Riverview Invitational on Saturday. The first game against Riverview High School saw Monroe finish on the wrong side of a seven goal thriller, eventually going down 4-3.Talen Swinkey had two excellent goals, the first a dribble into the box and the second a first time shot from the edge of the box. Lucis Rzepa also scored with a header from an Austin Dunn corner. Jovanny Gallegos provided the assist to Swinkey. 

In the second game the boys outplayed a strong Mason High School team with a convincing 2-0 win. Manuel Diaz making his return to the team after injury and illness showed his versatility and importance to the team having a noticeable impact at both ends of the field. Goals came from Gallegos who notched in the first half from a pass by Brian Palmer and  Swinkey who fired home in the second half again on a pass by Palmer. Nick Braden secured the shutout in goal.

Good effort by everyone today. Important contributions off the bench from Nick Lieto and Nik Heringhausen.
