Fredericksburg’s senior goalkeeper Alexis Viveros was on fire, stopping multiple shots to record his seventh shutout of the season. Viveros told KSAT how much he appreciates his offense.

“I love my offense. They say the best defense is a good offense, and we have a great offense,” Viveros said. “We have two very good forwards that I think together have near 60 goals (this season), so it’s just great having that out there knowing that if I mess up, they can back me up.”

The forwards Viveros mentioned include Olvera, who shared how pleased he was with the defense in this match.

“Defensively, it was one of our best games we’ve had,” Olvera said. “We’ve conceded a goal most of the season, so having the shutout feels good.”

The Billies could make history next week if they win in the regional final round. It would be the first time the program has advanced that far in the playoffs in school history.
