Junior captain Wayne Boone and senior Kishore Dewil also scored one goal each and had one assist each to help the Raiders to their clean-sheet win against Suwannee (1-2).
After winning a district championship under first-year coach Morgan Dall’Acqua, the Raiders are hungry for more this season.
“We are ready to win and go even further than last year,” Burgetto said.
Dall’Acqua, a Santa Fe alumni, wants to bring more interest into the soccer community through this team. He has proven to be successful as the matchup against Suwannee was sponsored by many local businesses.
