instrumental in our attack
going forward.”
Spanish exchange junior
Jamie Rico-Mendoza was
an all-conference honorable
mention, and led the Bucks
with 13 goals on the sea-
son, tying the school record.
He and senior forward Jon
Lopez also tied the school
record for the most hat tricks
in a season with one each.
The Bucks ended the
season at No. 4 in the IMC
standings, going 6-6-2
overall and 5-4-1 in league
action. They capped off the
year with a 2-0 home vic-
tory over the league’s previ-
ously top-ranked Ridgeview
Ravens.
“We’ve got a great team,”
Erazo said. “It’s unfortunate
that we didn’t make play-
offs, but it was a great season
overall.”
Girls soccer
Lindsey Pasena Little
Sky left an impression on the
6-13 overall.
La Grande outside hit-
ter Jayce Seavert was name
the GOL Player of the Year.
Melinda Becker-Bisenius,
who led the Tigers (19-6) to

named Coach of the Year.
Intermountain Conference
in her first year as a starting
player.
The Pendleton sopho-
more goalkeeper was named
the league’s Conference
Keeper of the Year.
“As a first-year goal-
keeper, she was phenome-
nal,” Pendleton head coach
Paul Parker said. “She has a
natural athletic ability. It was
a tough year — there were a
lot of shots on her all season
long. But she had an innate
ability to work through the
difficult times quickly and
get back and focused. She’s
been an extremely valuable
asset to the team.”
Sophomore
forward
Reilly Lovercheck was
named to the IMC’s first
team, and sister Kelsey Lov-
ercheck, a sophomore mid-
fielder, was an all-confer-
ence honorable mention.
They were the Bucks’ only
two returning starters this
year.
“They’re quite a pair,”
Parker said. “They have
an extremely high self-mo-
tivated inclination. They
have a desire to be better
all the time. They’re prob-
ably two of the most driven
athletes that we’ve seen in
the past three or four years.
They fought through early
season injuries and came
back strong. They’re a great
pair to have on any team.”
The Bucks ranked No.
5 in the league standings at
2-12 overall and 2-8 in the
conference.
“It was rough,” Parker
said. “We were really
young. What was amazing
about this team is that they
just kept improving and
kept playing. There was no
quit in them. We knew from
the beginning it was going
to be a rough year. They
were in several matches,
but their youth and inexpe-
rience kind of won out. But
there was no quit. I’m really
excited about the pros-
pects about this particular
team in the next few years
to come.”
