On the road against second-place Ripon Christian on Wednesday night, the Hilmar High varsity boys soccer team showed up when it mattered most. Tied 1-1 in the 77th minute, Ripon Christian's Daniel Lambdin fouled striker Blake Vitorino inside the penalty area. Wednesday’s win marked the fourth that Hilmar has by one score in TVL play. Following a Knights’ missed shot attempt, a diving Rodriguez was too late to get the ball, leaving the goal unguarded for Dooley to score. “Build off of that confidence that you are good enough to play and win these games, but nothing’s a given.”
