LAYTON \u2014 Davis High senior Graidey Arnell lives in the 84037 zip code, but was conveniently at home in the 84041 against Layton on Friday.<\/p>\n

Arnell was the closest Davis soccer player in the neighborhood when Layton mistakenly netted an own goal in the 32nd minute for the first score of their Region 1 matchup.<\/p>\n

\u201cCooper Harwood, on the wing, beat them and played a great through ball to the middle and I just happened to be there. It was a good fight and ended up our way,\u201d Arnell said. \u201cI was shoulder to shoulder with their defender and hit it; it went in during the mix-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Darts added another goal in the second half and gutted out a tough 2-0 road victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew they were going to come out to defend their home turf. We know how we play and had to step it up a little,\u201d Arnell said.<\/p>\n

Davis (7-2, 2-0 Region 1) constantly pounded Layton goalie Jack Gibbs in the first half before the own goal finally slipped past the line after bouncing around in front of the net and off the post.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll take any goal. It\u2019s nice to have an own goal, especially when we were pressing the whole time. \u2026 An opportunity was going to come,\u201d Arnell said.<\/p>\n

Layton (3-2, 1-1) coach Rick Talamantez said a breakdown on the basics led to his team letting the Darts on the board in the first half.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an unfortunate lack of communication on the back line and one of my players buried it,\u201d Talamantez said. \u201cIt happens; Davis is a fantastic team. They put a lot of pressure on us. We need to prevent the little mistakes we are making.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mistake number two came in the 65th minute when senior August Christiansen scored a for-real goal, giving the Darts a 2-0 edge.<\/p>\n

Junior keeper Jaxson Yanyecic and the Davis defense made that lead stand up to the end.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was all the defense; I didn\u2019t do much. They made it easy for me today,\u201d Yanyecic said.<\/p>\n

Speaking of being in the right place at the right time, Yanyecic dislocated two fingers on his left hand while defending multiple Layton shots on goal during a hotly contested series, but said the injury occurred precisely because he was in the correct location.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was actually in the right place; it saved a goal. On the first shot, the ball popped up; I hit it away,\u201d Yanyecic said. \u201cI was on the ground on the second one. The ball was in my reach, but I could only get my fingertips on it. I\u2019d do it again because it could have led to a goal, and that would have made it a 1-1 game.\u201d<\/p>\n

He exited at the 53rd minute, returning five minutes later after a brief trip to the trainer, and was in goal when Christiansen scored moments later.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was actually fun. After our second goal, it meant more. I think I liked it when I got injured because it got me more into the game, even though it hurts,\u201d Yanyecic said. \u201cI need to go to urgent care, but I was coming back into the game if it wasn\u2019t broken, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, two goals of any kind proved to be enough for the Darts on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith our back line, everyone\u2019s talking; everyone knows their job. We needed to get more, but obviously that own goal kept us up the whole game \u2026 it worked out,\u201d Arnell said. \u201cOur pressure was amazing. We pressed as a unit and a team to make sure they didn\u2019t build out of the back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talamantez turns his focus to the future, noting: \u201cWe\u2019ll come back from this. We\u2019ll work hard and meet these guys again. We made mistakes in the back line and our midfield, and Davis capitalized on it.\u201d<\/p>\n
