It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Olympia had no problem doing just that on Thursday. Their defense stepped up to hand the Oak Ridge Pioneers a 2-0 shutout. Given the Titans' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 153rd, while the Pioneers are ranked 339th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Otavio Fonseca De Andrade and Guilherme Valente scored both of Olympia's goals, bringing their combined season tally to 22 goals.
