Standouts from PAISAA Boys Final

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The PAISAA boys final on November 16 at The Proving Grounds in Conshohocken needed overtime to crown a champion but for the third straight year it was Kiski School that was the team celebrating at the end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kiski overcame a first half deficit with a late goal and took the lead in the first overtime period.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at the standout players from the match. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='150723' first='Adrian' last='Alvarez'], Junior, Midfielder, Kiski School</strong><br>Alvarez was having a good game even before he delivered the winner in overtime. His work rate and movement throughout the game were noticeable and his finish on the winner on a first time volley was a classy way to put an exclamation point on a very evenly played match. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":66586,"width":335,"height":223,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2022/11/39CB1FE5-6C88-4AA6-BC5D-6BB3C0F55F0B6N4A1956.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-66586" width="335" height="223" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Antonio Correa</em></figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Antonio Correa, Junior, Defender, Kiski School</strong><br>Correa and fellow center back Jose ‘Toti' Cifuentes deserve mention for how well they were able to lock things down after Phelps took the first half lead but Correa also delivered the all-important late equalizer when he was abe to score off a corner kick with under 8 minutes remaining. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Collins Oduro, Senior, Forward, Phelps School</strong><br>The Indiana-commit scored his 40th goal of the season to put Phelps up mid-way through the first half and was pretty dangerous throughout drawing a lot of attention and a couple fouls from dangerous spots. His goal nearly held up as the winner before Kiski found a late equalizer and a second in overtime. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jake Conti, Senior, Goalkeeper, Kiski School</strong><br>Against a team that has been blowing out opponents all season long, Kiski was going to be tested as much defensively as they were offensively against a stingy Phelps back line. After conceding the first goal, Conti and the back line stepped up and made sure that Phelps would only get one on the day. In the end, that was the difference on the day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":66587,"width":307,"height":204,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/2022/11/60605E2B-CBFB-47FC-8660-DFF6597D05D46N4A2407-2022-11-17T06_22_52.216.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-66587" width="307" height="204" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Jake Conti</em></figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='15083' first='Ben' last='Feinstein'], Senior, Midfielder, Kiski School</strong><br>Feinstein vs Oduro was a preview of a future Big Ten rivalry for the Michigan-bound senior. Feinstein was his usual dependable self in a game that called for a lot more grit and perseverance than Kiski is accustomed to. Feinstein showed that he can be both a playmaker and a hard-nosed defender and did well to keep his team in the match when it felt like it might be starting to slip away. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ludwig Apel, Senior, Goalkeeper, Phelps School</strong><br>Though Kiski trailed for much of the game, it wasn't because of a lack of chances. They threatened from the opening kickoff and Apel did well commanding his line, especially on set pieces. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
