SUNSET LEAGUE : Santa Ana Wins First, Extends Skid for Ocean View

Santa Ana dominated the first half and held on in the second for its first victory of the year Friday, defeating visiting Ocean View, 19-13.

It was the Seahawks’ 25th consecutive loss.

Santa Ana (1-5, 1-2) got another fine passing performance from quarterback Mark Fausto, who threw for 224 yards and a pair of touchdowns in addition to making a late, game-saving interception.

The Saints opened the scoring early in the second quarter on a one-yard run by Mike Soule. Fausto connected with Carlos Moreno on a 36-yard pass to set up the Saints at the Ocean View two, and Soule scored two plays later.

Fausto set up another touchdown late in the half. He got a bad snap out of the shotgun formation, bobbled the ball and dropped it, then picked it up and found Luis Godinez down the left sideline for a 60-yard gain and a first down at the Seahawk four. Fausto then hooked up with Carlos Rodriguez on a 4-yard scoring pass for a 13-0 halftime lead.

Trailing, 19-0, in the third quarter, Ocean View (0-6, 0-3) scored twice. A 28-yard punt return by Calvin Silva and the impressive running of Alfred Rhee allowed the Seahawks to pull within six, 19-13, with 4:28 left. Ocean View got the ball back twice in the last four minutes, but first-play interceptions from Fausto and Carlos Esparza put the game on ice.
