WAUCONDA – So far, Kristian Rockall has had little trouble adjusting as Marian Central’s boys soccer coach.

The first-year coach and the Hurricanes improved to 9-0 Thursday with a 7-0 victory against Richmond-Burton in a semifinal of the Wauconda Soccer Classic.

Austin Sierakowski and Jake Everly scored two goals each in the first half, and Mike Pierce added a fifth before the break. In the second half, Brian Pavey and Filip Dyminski each added a score.

“The kids really got at it before the season began and continued into the season,” Rockall said. “Everyone’s playing for each other, and we got great defense and desire to win.”

Mike Paffraith earned his second shutout of the year for the Hurricanes, who have allowed three goals through nine games.

In the other semifinal, Huntley defeated Wauconda, 4-0, behind two goals from Javi Diaz and single scores from Kareem Rassas and Christian Ramos. Aleks Rys made seven saves for Huntley (2-2-1), which will play the ‘Canes for the title at 4 p.m. Saturday.
