CIS dominates Isac girls soccer day one
BAGUIO City – The Cebu International School had a good start in the first day of the International Schools Athletic Conference (ISAC) here at Brent Baguio.
The Girls' football team took a temporary hold of the top spot after bagging two wins and a draw, while the Boys' basketball team also started with two means before stumbling in its final assignment, losing to Southville International School (SIS), 27-40.
"If we win both events, we will be the ISAC over-all champion," said CIS athletic director Brian Bedford. Last year, CIS shared the over-all trophy with Brent Manila.
In its first game, the CIS girls, who finished runner-up last year, had difficulty finding their target as they fought to a scoreless draw with defending champion, Brent Subic.
"Lisud ka-ayo makascore kay gamay ra ka-ayo ang oras," said CIS head coach, Dexter Arrojado, who is assisted by former University of Sto. Tomas varsity, Jessica Aspillaga. Each half runs for only 17 minutes.
In their next game, CIS leaned on the young Gabby Aboitiz for the lone goal in its 1-0 win over host Brent Baguio.
Monica Moraza had the best chance at the end of the first half after she was left along at the top of the box, however, her best effort only kissed the top bar.
Moraza forced the keeper to a diving save in the second half and Aboitiz banged in a bad clearance by a defender for the lone goal in the 29 th minute.
Baguio got a chance after winning an indirect free kick inside the box but their shot hit the CIS wall before getting cleared.
In their third game, it was Gabi Mercado's turn to wear the hero's cap for CIS, with a little help from a luckless keeper.
Mercado, who's never-give-up attitude has endeared her to the coaching staff, banged a shot off a corner that seemed harmless but the keeper, instead of catching the ground ball, opted to kick it out, and missed.
Aboitiz power shot in the 30th also sailed wide while the keeper got luck on her hands after managing to recover the ball after it slip through her feet a second time in the 32 nd.
CIS is now on top of the seven-team event with two wins and a draw, while Brent Subic is second with a win and two draws.
The girls will close out their elimination round today against European International School (EIS). British School Manila and Brent Manila.
Meanwhile, the CIS boys swept their first two games, 45-30, against Brent Manila and 48-34 against Brent Baguio before losing to SIS.
CIS took the lead against SIS, 2-0, on a basket by Dom Ugarte but SIS answered back with 12 answered points as they out-hustled CIS in all areas en route to a 21-6, SIS lead at the end of the first quarter.
CIS managed to get its act together in the second half behind Ugarte, who had two back to back triples as they clawed back to with in three, 18-21 before SIS answered back to stretch the lead to, 21-30 to seal their win.
Today, the boys of Rey Maranon will play EIS, Brent Subic and Mindanao Christian Academy.
