Garapan Elementary School\u2019s William Flores (6) and Casmiro Cosmes scramble for the ball against Oleai Elementary School in Week 1 of the 2022-2023 NMIFA-PSS Interscholastic Soccer League at the NMI Training Center in Koblerville. (LEIGH GASES)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Garapan Elementary School 1 and William S. Reyes 2 reached the elementary school soccer championship in the NMIFA-PSS Interscholastic Soccer League after eliminating their respective opponents in the semifinals last Monday at the NMI Soccer Training Center in Koblerville.<\/p>\n

The first game of the semifinals was between GES 1 and Grace Christian Academy, which the Mallards won 5-1 to secure their spot in the finals. The Kingfishers joined them after they won their match against their sister team, WSR 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Eagles put up a valiant effort as they soared through the field alongside the Mallards but were only able to put up one goal courtesy of Mateo Angeles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Mallards, on the other hand, duck-walked their way through the field with ease, scoring two of their goals in the first half and three of their goals in the second half.<\/p>\n

Kanoa Owens was the star of the team once again as he scored three of the team\u2019s five goals. Casmiro Cosmes and Angel Calayag contributed the other two goals.<\/p>\n

To get to the semifinals, WSR 1 blanked Koblerville Elementary School 1, 4-0; Grace Christian Academy beat Koblerville Elementary School 2, 3-1; GES 1 defeated Saipan International School, 6-1; and WSR 2 had an easy win after they won by forfeit against San Vicente Elementary School in the quarterfinals last Friday.<\/p>\n

GES 1 and WSR 2 will face off in the finals today at 5:30pm at the NMI Soccer Training Center in Koblerville, right after the battle for third place between WSR 1 and Grace Christian Academy at 4pm.

\nWSR-2 13, WSR-1 2<\/strong>
\nIt was the battle of the Kingfishers as WSR 1 and WSR 2 squared off for the last spot in the championship game. WSR 2 got the best of their sister team as they blew them out of the sky, 13-2.<\/p>\n

Aldric Jon Antonio of WSR 2 drew first blood as he scored the first goal just three minutes into the game. He ended up scoring two more goals for the team.<\/p>\n

WSR 1 showed that they were not to be counted out yet as Landin Reyes managed to score in the 11th minute. However, WSR 2 kept the goals coming as they navigated through the defense and goalie to put up 10 of their 13 goals in the first half. WSR 1 was able to score one more goal before falling to their schoolmates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joshua Lizama dominated the field as he scored four of WSR 2\u2019s goals, while Salman Kamal netted three goals. Jiro Quindoza, Michael Olaitiman, and Darshwanna Chhetri scored one goal each.<\/p>\n
