Spartans finish strong, score four late goals

FORKS — Forks broke open a close game with four second-half goals, including a hat trick by Mateo Gaspar Lucas, to earn a 5-1 win over Hoquiam in boys soccer action at Spartan Stadium on Thursday.

“We were tied at half. It was a very back-and-forth game between the teams, and in the second half, we really raised our games and made some good pressure on their defense,” coach Ismael Ramos said. “We took advantage of their mistakes, and it worked out in our favor.”

The Spartans also scored on a Luis Ornelas strike.

Forks’ first-half goal was scored by Cruz Fernandez Black.

Ramos said the team’s back line of Orlando Camacho, Brody Owen and Estevan Ramos all worked hard defensively.

Forks (3-3, 3-4) visits Elma (4-2) on Thursday.

“That’s a big one. We can move up into fourth place, which we need to be to make the district tournament,” Ramos said.
