Games played 9/13/08

The Frostbites played a great game in a tough 0-1 loss to Costa Mesa on Saturday. Outstanding offensive plays were made by Page Keys, Charlie , Natalie Balgie and Bayley Davidson to keep the ball near their opponent’s goal most of the game. Natalie Teale, Jenna Frum and Alex Palmer lead the defense to keep Costa Mesa scoreless for 3 quarters.

Newport Mavericks v. Huntington Beach (BU12 Plus)

The Newport Mavericks continued on their quest to repeat their championship performance from spring by walloping Huntington Beach 8-0 last Saturday. The win put the Mavericks at two wins and no losses for the season and atop the standings one point ahead of Tustin whom they will face this coming Saturday at Mariners. The Mavericks refused to look ahead to Tustin, the team which handed them their only loss last fall. Rather their 60 minutes of pressure against Huntington Beach enabled Caleb O’Neil , Riley Gaddis, Christian Watson and Sawyer Farmer to net their first goals of the season with assists from Chas Beek and Peter Seidner. Strong defense from Dominik Folkner and keeper Ryan Braun preserved the shut-out. Meanwhile, the mid-field was controlled by Kevin Tellez, Ben Bockrath, Jack Binford, Jake Parks, and Baron Davis.

Raptors vs. Blue Penguins (GU10)

Saturday’s game between the Raptors and the Blue Penguins was exciting from the start with a tie 2 to 2 score at the end of the first quarter. The game continued eventful with additional Raptors scores and fancy footwork in the second quarter. The third quarter the Raptors continued to hold off the Penguins with great defense and passing skills. It was a super victory for the Raptors with goals scored by Grace Blackman (2), McKenna Carroll (3), Carly Cox (1) and Hailey Munguia (2). The Raptors goalies Allison Hanscom, Kathryn Peters and Megan Carey were unstoppable. The Raptors had an amazing game and played as a strong team.

The Dream Team peppered shots on goal all morning long and were led by scores from Jayd Sprague, Lauren Braun, and Trinity Rodman. Meanwhile, their defense was anchored by strong goalie play from McKenna Kummerfeldt and Alex Terry. The young ladies showed wonderful passing skills on the attacking end of the field. Assists from Marina Barras, Maggie Dufresne, Grace Kaley, and Varenna Kay led the charge.
