The Hillcrest Lutheran Academy Boys Soccer Team’s 2021 season was ended by the Pelican Rapids Vikings on Saturday, during a Section 8A semifinal matchup in Pelican Rapids by the score of 5-2.

The Comets battled the skilled Vikings and kept them scoreless for 38 minutes.  But the Vikings pressed the Comets and went into the half with a 1-0 lead, after a header goal from Sebastian Centeno, assisted by Daniel Urbano.   The Vikings added two goals at 42 and 58 minutes to make it a 3-0 contest.  Yahir Diaz scored and then assisted on a goal by Mohamed Ahmed.  The Comets made it interesting with goals on free kick goals from Steffen Synnevaag and Abram Ness at 60 and 61 minutes, however, the Vikings sealed the deal with two more goals later in the second half.  Jesus Moreno from Daniel Urbano and Diaz from Sidiq Farah.

“I believe the Comets played with heart and worked hard this afternoon,” commented Head Coach Rod Jensen of Hillcrest.  “I wish John Peter and the Vikings the best, going forward, representing the North in Section 8A finals against St. Cloud Cathedral.  I also look forward, with great expectation, to the future of the Comet’s performance next year with our young team going forward!!!”

The Comet’s finish their 2021 season with a record of 12-5-1.
