Press Release

Peak Performance

11

Shutouts
“Alvaro made several key saves in games against us and several games that I watched. While Woodstock would have still had a good overall season without Alvaro, I don’t think they have the same type of success and I do not believe they go undefeated.”
Evan Prybutok
Head Coach - head coach of the Phelps School

Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound junior goalkeeper led the Centaurs to a 15-0-1 record and the Prep Premier League Tournament championship this past season. Lopez conceded just seven goals and recorded 11 shutouts. A member of the Guatemalan Under-20 Men’s National Team, he won the Prep Premier League Golden Gloves Award as the league’s top goalie and was named First Team All-State by the Connecticut Soccer Coaches Association.

Academic Achievement

Lopez has maintained an A average in the classroom. He will begin his senior year of high school this fall.

Exemplary Character

Lopez has volunteered locally at an eldercare facility and has donated his time to multiple community service initiatives through his church.
