He scored the deciding goal Saturday in the 83rd minute, lifting Goldey-Beacom to a huge 2-1 victory over Dominican (NY).

Again helping put GBC among the nation's elite, Coimbra is eighth in the country with five assists, 29th with two game-winning goals, 33rd with 0.5 assists per game, 42nd with 13 points, 83rd with four goals and 85th with 1.3 points per match.
