OREGON — The Hubs soccer team gave its younger players a chance to shine when the boys hit the road this past weekend to defend their title in the Oregon Junior Varsity Invitational.

Three freshmen recorded goals in Rochelle’s opening match, a 6-3 loss to the Harvard Hornets. Brayan Orozco led the Hubs with one goal and two assists, while Zane Walters added a goal and Juan Cincire put in another goal. Junior Matthew Morey chipped in one assist to lead the Rochelle attack.

The Hubs responded to their loss by cruising over the Genoa-Kingston Cogs in their second tournament game by a score of 6-1. Walters netted three goals to anchor the Rochelle offense, while Cincire, Orozco and freshman Giovanni Romero each added one goal. Sophomore Austin Brown led the Hubs with two assists, with Morey tossing in his second assist of the tournament.

Junior Gage Larsen and sophomore Carlos Nambo joined the action in Rochelle’s 4-0 victory over the Oregon Hawks, scoring two of their team’s goals. Orozco and Cincire combined for two goals and three assists, while junior Mason DeLille totaled one save en route to his first shutout of the tournament.

The Hubs bowed out of the competition with a 4-0 win over the Dixon Dukes. Orozco’s three goals propelled him to a team-high six goals in the tournament, and junior Christian Quintanilla made his mark on the weekend with his first goal of the year. Brown, Cincire and Nambo recorded the assists for the Hubs, who finished the weekend with a 3-1 record.
