Rocori leans on seniors, improve to 6-0 in win vs. Sauk Rapids
Just two years ago, Rocori won five games all season. Now, the Spartans sit at 6-0 after a win vs. Sauk Rapids thanks to 6-foot-6 Leighton Becker
Rocori secured a 3-1 victory over Sauk Rapids in a Central Lakes soccer match, with all three goals scored by seniors. Nolan Sussenguth opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, but the senior defense, led by 6-foot-6 Leighton Becker, was the star of the game. Becker scored twice with headers, touting his size as an advantage in battling for the ball.
Coach Chris Stavros attributes the team's success to the cohesion and work ethic of the entire squad, including captains Ederson Gonzalaz, Noah Mick, and Aidan Boeckmann. Despite having missed several opportunities, the Spartans have shown great promise this season, with seniors setting the tone for the team. However, they still have a challenging stretch of five games in eight days ahead, starting with a tough match against Tech on September 17th.
