Carlos Mendoza's three goals lifted Cy Fair to a 3-2 victory over Cy Falls. The Bobcats pushed their record to 6-1-1 while Cy Falls fell to 4-2-2 in District 17-5A play.
Cy Fair got on the scoreboard first as Xavier Jiminez weaved his way past two defenders and crossed a perfectly placed ball to Mendoza who tapped it in to make the score 1-0. Just seven minutes later, the Bobcats scored again off a set piece. This time, Mendoza ripped a header off of a service from Junior Tyler Anselmi for a 2-0 score. Cy Falls pushed the ball upfield and converted on a set piece to tighten the match 2-1 going into halftime.
Mendoza continued his torrid scoring pace in the second half. The Senior forward worked his way into a one on one situation and flicked the ball past a hard charging goalkeeper to expand the lead to 3-1. However, Cy Falls continued to battle and made things interesting with another goal with just eight minutes left to play to tighten the score again. Led by a strong back line, Cy Fair controlled the final minutes of the game solidifying a 3-2 win. Sam Potter had seven saves for the Bobcats.
Cy Fair will travel to Cy Ridge for a Friday night matchup at 7pm.
