Four goals from Bogdan Jesic and a smothering defense led to a 4-1 win at home on Saturday evening for #1-ranked Tallulah Falls. The Indians beat 8-ranked Riverside to punch the program’s first-ever Final Four ticket.
Just about eight minutes into the contest, Jesic was awarded a PK and knocked it in for the 1-0 lead. With 18 minutes to go in the half, he notched his second off a pass from Jorge Gomez Prieto.
The 2-0 halftime lead was more than enough, but TFS added more when Kale Borchers found Jesic to complete his hat trick. He tallied one more less than four minutes later.
Riverside sent in a PK with just a few minutes left in the contest. The defense turned away several opportunities, and GK Javier Bachiller Mateo made several key saves including a PK stop.
The Indians are now 19-1 on the season and play in the GIAA State Semifinals next Saturday at home.
