Boys Soccer

Tsunami split a pair of weekend games in AYSO Region 56 competition

by beating the Raging Raptors, 3-2, one game after suffering a 4-2 defeat

at the hands of the Cyclones in boys Under-10 play.

Brett Webber scored two goals, Billy Sahagen scored once, and Nick

Bove provided the game-winning goal in the fourth period as Tsunami

pulled overcame a 2-1 deficit through three quarters of play at Peterson

Elementary School in Huntington Beach.

Julian Barriga’s goal pulled the Raging Raptors even at 1-1 at the

half, and Corey Johnston’s goal in the third period gave the Raging

Raptors their first and only lead of the match.

Tsunami also had to battle back against the Cyclones in an earlier

match played at Gisler Elementary School in Huntington Beach. Jacob

Sobelman scored in the opening quarter to give the Cyclones a 1-0 lead -

a lead they would take at the intermission, but consecutive goals by Kyle

McDonnell (off a Ryan Dalton assist) and David Kielsmeier put Tsunami up,

2-1, through three quarters.

Webber recorded three saves and a block during the third period

for Tsunami.

Sobelman, however, completed a hat trick by scoring twice in the

final period, and William Andrew also converted one of four shots for a

goal and assisted on of Sobelman’s scores in the quarter.
