Elko spoils return to playoffs for Fallon boys soccer

Elko spoils return to playoffs for Fallon boys soccer

After missing the playoffs last season, the Churchill County High School boys soccer team earned the No. 6 seed for this year’s 3A Northern Region Tournament.

But Elko, the No. 3 seed and winner of the East Division during the regular season, made the Greenwave’s stay in the postseason a short one with a 6-1 win in the first round on Oct. 27.

The Greenwave got four shots on goal and found the net with one of them. No individual stats were available for Fallon.

Elko got three goals from Mateo Avila and two from Aritz Aizpurua to lead the Indians to the regional semifinals, where they lost in a penalty kick shootout 4-2, after a 1-1 tie in regulation. South Tahoe defeated Elko 4-3 in the region championship and both teams will represent the North in the 3A State Tournament Friday and Saturday at Reed.
