Soggy soccer field fails to deter players

With the doors of The Center reopening, the second week of the adult co-ed soccer season sprang into action with Solid Rock Construction sitting the bench during their bye week.

Sato Real Estate started the night’s action against Gulfview Windows and Doors. Game play was briefly interrupted by a downpour.

Murat Akay led his team with a hat trick in the game, accompanied by single goals from Connor Bystrom, Josh Sato and Hakan Toka. An additional goal by the Sato squad resulted in a 7-2 win.

Daniel Adan was credited with a goal for Gulfview in the game, along with seven saves by goalkeeper Brandin Holcomb.

Blalock Waters and Vintage Beach ended their game in a tie with the score 3-3. Vintage Beach’s Nick Bouchard and Sean Flynn found the net. Ryan Hogan, Matt Staggs and Jessica Williams each scored goals in the tie game.

Game three kept Moss Builders at the top of the ranking with a win over Signature Granite. The four goals by Moss Builders were scored by Tim Holly and Brent Moss, with two successful strikes by Aaron Parkin.

Zack Lieb hit the only goal for Signature Granite.

Beach Bums ran away with the last game of the night against Ross Built Construction.

Kevin Roman and Robert Fellowes each landed the soccer ball in the Ross Built goal, while Connor Haughey and Amy Ivin each scored a single point for their team in the win.

Ross Built avoided the shut out with an all-important goal by Jake Ross.

At the end of week two, Joey Hutchinson still tops the leader board with four goals in the season. Aaron Parkin has three recorded assists topping the statistical chart.

Three players are on top as goalies with 10 saves: Ryan Moss, Diego Felipe and Clancy Vaughn. There is still plenty of season left to watch the key players and teams maneuver through the games to the championship.
