Auburn Riverside boys soccer | AT A GLANCE

The Ravens look to center midfielder Gonzales to lead the way. "He's is the engine of the team," Saarenas said. "He's done a great job of being our playmaker." Defensively, it starts with Ocon, who takes over for Trevor Larson, a Sounders Academy player who did not turn out for the Ravens this season. Ocon started about a third of the team's games in goal last season. Turner and Correa are solid defenders. "We are a young team, yet eager to learn and work hard," Saarenas said. "I anticipate that we will be stronger defensively than offensively this season and I also expect us to do better in the second half of the season."
