In Division 2, San Juan Hills’ historic run came to a disappointing end on Tuesday.

Senior Cole Monach scored twice to put San Juan Hills up early in the second half. However, visiting Montebello scored on a rush goal in the 74th minute, and well past the 80th minute in stoppage time, the Oilers converted a perfectly placed 25-yard free kick to tie, 2-2.

After two scoreless overtime periods, the game entered penalty kicks. The teams were tied with three goals each going into the decisive fifth round, but after Montebello converted, San Juan Hills’ final attempt went over the goal, cinching the Oilers’ victory.

San Juan Hills (10-3-6) was playing in its first semifinal after winning its first league title and first playoff game this season.
