Three wins over two days was enough for the Lehman Lobos boys soccer team to secure a second straight silver medal finish at the annual Rebel Cup tournament.
While Lehman struggled to counter a seasoned Del Valle Cardinal squad in a 2-1 championship game loss Saturday, Lobo head coach Rene Medina said the experience was a key moment in the learning process for his team.
Through the first four games of the season, Medina said the Lobos showed composure and teamwork on the field despite the relative lack of experience at the varsity level for many players. Lehman opened tournament play with a 2-0 Jan. 2 win over Pflugerville Weiss, followed by back-to-back 1-0 wins over Corpus Christi Winn and Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial Jan. 3 to reach the title game.
