Late goal lifts Burbank boys’ soccer to victory

BOYS’ SOCCER

Burbank 1, Arcadia 0: The Bulldogs scored the match’s only goal in the final minute Friday to pull out the win in the Pacific League opener for both teams.

Orbel Golanians, who was brought up from the junior varsity team, scored on an assist from Dennis Palacio to lift Burbank (3-2).

“We had only 13 guys for the game, and two of them were on the bench banged up,” Burbank Coach Loi Phan said. “I thought it was a very good effort from the guys.”

Freshman goalkeeper Andrew Hank recorded the shutout.

GIRLS’ SOCCER

Burroughs 6, Glendale 0: The Indians began Pacific League play Friday with a lopsided victory at Memorial Field.

Brittany Mata had a hat trick and Taylor Bailey, Brooke Hazard, Alexis Mendias, Emma Pineiro and Brianna Matallana had goals for the Indians.
