Zach Daniels scored one minute into the second half and Mitchell Cosper added an insurance goal to lead Aliso Boys Soccer to a 2-0 win over Mater Dei High School tonight at Wolverine Stadium.

Aliso and Mater Dei battled in a physical game that didn't see too many scoring opportunities in the first half but did see four players cautioned.

The Wolverines struck early after the break as a pair of kindergarten friends put Aliso on the board. Senior Curtis LeQuang sent a ball that found Daniels' head who directed it into the net for the 1-0 Aliso lead.

Goalkeeper Steele Arlasky came up with some big saves in the second half to keep Mater Dei off the scoreboard.  A pair of point blank saves by Arlasky came at the 19-minute mark that stopped some Mater Dei second half momentum.

With eight minutes remaining, senior Sawyer Sachen had a mini breakaway and found the junior Cosper to the left of the net and Cosper coverted the pass to double the Aliso lead.

Aliso will play at San Marcos High School of Santa Barbara on Tuesday, February 15 in the second round.  Game time is yet to be determined.
