LJCD booters go 1-0-2 at Oceanside tourney The La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School boys soccer team saw action over the holidays at the Oceanside Nautical Cup, finishing 1-0-2 in the process. In its opener, LJCD battled Valley Center to a 0-0 tie. The next contest saw LJCD tally a 2-1 win over Carlsbad, as Dennis Roth gave the Torreys the lead on a header off a direct kick by Alex Fleischhacker. LJCD then went up 2-0 on a breakaway goal by Ryan French off a pass by Lee Klitzner. Goalkeeper Mical Bailey had the best game of his career, according to LJCD head coach Jerry Fleischhacker, while Klitzner was also stellar as sweeper. Alex Fleischhacker, Roth, Philip Poyhonen and Alistair Dobke also played great defense, while Brian Trausch and freshman Carlos Romero had stellar games in their first extended opportunities to play this season. “A great win against a quality Division I opponent as we were missing four starters,” Jerry Fleischhacker noted. LJCD finished tourney play with a 2-2 tie against Southwest High (Southwest advances by scoring in second OT, but the game was counted by CIF as a tie). Roth scored his eighth and ninth goals of the season to lead LJCD.
