A 3-0 win over Central Catholic High on Saturday propelled Riverbank's varsity soccer team to the semifinals of the 30th Annual Ripon Christian-Jerry Terpsma Classic.
There, the Bruins watched a 1-1 deadlock with Ripon swing the Indians way after a thrilling 4-3 penalty kick finale.
Ripon would go on to lose to Escalon 2-0 in a TVL dominant tournament serving as a bit of a league preview for each respective program.
Riverbank, league champs a year ago, hosts Terpsma Classic champs, Escalon, in a heavily anticipated Trans-Valley League opener on Thursday, Sept. 16.
The Bruins will look for standout goalkeeper Rafael Ramires to limit Cougar scoring.
"Escalon looks strong, but if we can come together we will make a run for (the league title)," Riverbank coach Martin Gonzales said. "If we can become a team soon we should be tough to beat."
