Dani Giulvezan may not venture eastward as much as he once did.
His demonstrative touchline flair had tempered over the years.
And he may not be leading a News-Herald coverage area side anymore. But there are some aspects in which familiarity is clear — Giulvezan’s sides are never shy in the attack. Unfortunately for North on Sept. 30, the Rangers found that out the hard way.
Yoon Ha netted a strike 23 seconds into the match, and Solon was well on its way to a 5-0 win over North.
The Rangers (7-6-1) are on a five-match winless skid, getting outscored in that span, 17-1. But the totality of this 80, again unfortunately for the hosts, might have been one of the roughest performances the program has logged in recent memory.
The Comets (3-6-3) enjoyed an 18-1 shots-on-target advantage and controlled the attack for much of the afternoon.
“What I liked most about it was the drive and intensity, and the willingness to do good,” Giulvezan said. “It’s a great group of kids. It’s a great soccer community. It’s a great school. I’m very happy to be in this new chapter in my life. And I feel like a special person that I have a chance to work with those kids and shape what they do with my love for the sport.”
Giulvezan, of course, made his coaching name locally as the longtime head man for the Hawken boys side. In 17 seasons, he guided the Hawks to seven Division III state final four berths and were D-III state runners-up on four occasions.
This is his first season at Solon after a stint with the Orange girls side.
“It’s my love for the game,” Giulvezan said of his longevity. “I grew up with it. I discovered soccer when I was 7 years old. I walked to school in Romania, and in front of the store, there was a white ball, white and black. I told my parents I don’t want anything else for my birthday, just to buy me that ball. They bought me the ball, and my love for the game started.”
Malec Jirari put away a header amid corner aftermath in the 36th, and Rowan Hirsh and Jirari netted strikes 63 seconds apart early in the second 40 as Solon blew the match open.
Among the few bright spots for the Rangers were two outstanding saves from Austin Hope in the eighth and 12th minutes, respectively, as they hung in nearly to halftime down, 1-0. Their first and only shot on target didn’t come until Jaiden Kramer’s look in the 52nd.
