The Marjory Stoneman Douglas boys and girls soccer teams opened their seasons with wins over Monarch High School on Tuesday night.
The boys trailed 1-0 at halftime before rallying for a 2-1 victory. Luis Delgado scored both second-half goals within a minute of each other, completing the comeback. The Eagles controlled much of the game and had a penalty kick saved by the Knights. The win gives MSD a 1-0 start, its third straight season opening with a victory.
The girls team won 9-0, with the game ending at halftime. Audrey Haltiwanger scored three goals, including the first two, and Isabella Bacardi added two. Nadia Tomlinson, Alyssa Rodriguez, Courtney Heymach and Allison Ofstein also found the net.
The boys team finished last season 12-2-2 after winning a District Championship and beating Miami Palmetto in the opening round of Regionals. The girls won nine games last season and captured their eighth consecutive District title.
Both teams return to action Monday, Nov. 16, with the boys playing at 5 p.m. and the girls at 7 p.m.
