Soccer Roundup

The Hornets, a boys Under-10 AYSO Region 56 soccer team, collected

three recent shutout victories, two of which came by shutout.

Riley Hansler opened the scoring in a 2-0 win over Tsunami by sending a

penalty kick into the corner of the net, and Nick Stephens secured the

win with a shot off a well-placed corner kick by Hansler.

The Hornets’ defensive line of Aashik Chela, Matt Abad-Santos, and Tanner

Stansbury held off a strong Tsunami offensive attack to preserve the win.

On Saturday, Bradley Hansen, assisted by Jordan Luevano, scored off

another precise corner kick by Hansler to lift the Hornets past the Big

Blue Wrecking Crew, 1-0. Big Blue goalie Chris Voss actually made a nice

stop on the ball, but it rolled into the corner of the net.

It was the first goal of the season for Hansen.

The Hornets’ win streak continued with a 3-1 decision over the Silver

Bullets. In that victory, Keaton Celinder scored the go-ahead goal off a

Jarron Ertz feed, and Stephens gave the Hornets a 3-1 edge when he took a

ricochet off Hansler’s kick off the Silver Bullet crossbar and put it

into the goal.

Hansler opened the scoring with a blistering shot into the back of the

net.
