San Clemente goalkeeper Andrew Cuchessi separated his right shoulder during practice last week and is expected to be out at least two weeks, Tritons coach Michael Pronier said.
“It's a big loss,” said Pronier, whose Tritons are 8-3-4 after tying Tesoro, 2-2, on Friday in its South Coast League opener. “Andrew is a definite presence in the box.”
Pronier said sophomore Max Phillips will fill in for Cuchessi, who was injured during practice Thursday.
“Max will do a good job for us. He has a lot of potential. He just needs some experience,” said Pronier.

seperated shoulders don't just heal in 2 weeks, unless it is a real mild slip, but seperation is not something to take lightly- too bad, I've seen him play and he's a very good GK.
Amazing game Max Philips. Congratulations on MVP!
Max saves the PK that could have been the game changer.
He also made 2 other big saves to keep the tritons momentum alive.
