On one of the coldest nights of the soccer season, the St. Aloysius boys could not stop the hot scoring of Crystal Spring’s Guatemalan connection.

Senior Briyan Paiz and freshman Warner Paiz, both Guatemalan natives, combined for four goals to lead Crystal Springs past St. Aloysius 6-1 Tuesday night at Balzli Field.

Crystal Springs (9-3-2, 3-1) remains alive for a playoff berth from Division 7, Class 1-3A. On the other hand, the loss dealt a serious blow to St. Al’s (3-7-1, 1-3) playoff hopes.

Flashes coach Jason Hopkins said the loss was a poor performance.

“Sometimes, we’ve been in games we probably shouldn’t be in and other times, we’ve been out of games we should have been in,” Hopkins said. “Tonight was a game we should have been in. It should not have been like this.”

St. Al could not come up with an answer for either Paiz. Briyan Paiz put the Tigers up 1-0 in the 14th minute when he slipped a shot past St. Al keeper Lofton Warner. Warren Piaz, who plays for the Chicago Fire’s Junior soccer team in Jackson, made it 2-0 just four minutes later. Briyan Paiz made it 3-0 in the 27th minute and Warner Paiz’ 35-yard penalty kick put the match away two minutes deep into the second half. St. Al did manage 10 shots on goal, but only one found the net and that came in the 23rd minute of the second half when Blake Hudson scored off an assist by Forrest Logue.
