Claudio added that Mario Rodriguez, Damian Olivares and Zachary Avelar locked down the back and limited Kofa's potent attack.
Meanwhile, at Raider Field on the Cibola campus in the girls matchup, Kofa's Bianka Rodriguez scored a the game's lone goal midway through the second half as Kofa hung on to a 1-0 win.
"It was a good win, it wasn't the prettiest soccer we've played, it was tight like a local rivalry should be," Kofa head coach Santos Rangel said. "They played united and knew what they wanted to do from the beginning, pressed from the beginning and I was okay with the press so at the end of the day I'll take that."
