Arete Prep Varsity Soccer teams continued their historic seasons by advancing in the AIA 2A State Tournament, both winning first round matchups in dominant fashion the last two nights here at Charger Field.
The boys exploded out of the gate, scoring just 30 seconds into the match, and never looked back in a 4–1 win over Veritas Prep. Blade Hingson opened the scoring with a goal assisted by Owen Whitehead. Owen then netted a wondergoal early in the second half to take the lead, and senior Kesed Vaughn put the game away by scoring the third and fourth goals, sending the Chargers to the quarterfinals. Next up, the #5 boys travel to #4 Glendale Prep on Saturday for a 2 p.m. kickoff.

Charger of the Week, Izzy Restivo, made an immediate impact by scoring just 90 seconds into the match, contributing to her first-half hat trick. Anna Rossing added two more goals, while Maggie Botros chipped in with another. In goal, Sophia Gray earned yet another win with a shutout. The #8 girls will head to #1 Scottsdale Prep on Saturday for a noon kickoff.
