The Berkeley boys’ soccer team avenged its only league loss Thursday with a 3-1 win over Alameda. Today, the ’Jackets play Richmond for the ACCAL title. 

Berkeley has the edge in the game, which will be played at Richmond High at 3:30 p.m., with their 1-0 win over the Oilers in the first half of the season. Richmond also tied with Alameda, so Berkeley will take the title with a win or a tie today. 

Sophomore Kamani Hill scored two goals for Berkeley during Thursday’s rainy, physical match. The Alameda goalkeeper was sent off in the first half for a hard foul on Hill, and Berkeley’s David Ngov was given a red card with a reckless challenge in the second half. 

Hill put the ’Jackets ahead for good with his second goal, a breakaway in the 55th minute from an assist by Harris Cohn. Chris Altieri-Dove sealed the win with a goal in the 78th minute.
