With only two weeks of regular season play left in the co-ed adult soccer schedule, three teams rise to the top, fighting for first seed. Once on top alone, Sato Real Estate holds on to one of three top positions with a 4-2 record.
Two construction company-sponsored teams, Ross Built Construction and Solid Rock Construction, join Sato in the scramble for the position in the playoffs that would match them up against the eighth seed team.
All three teams have two regular season games to play. League regulations utilize head-to-head records as a way to break a tie in the case of more than one team having the same record.
Sato Real Estate had a bye last Thursday night, while Ross Built won its game against Vintage Beach 5-3. Greg Ross and Garrett Furman scored two goals each for the Ross Built team.
Tyler Pullen also put one in the net for Ross Built, while Chris Circharo served as the protector of the goal for their team with 15 recorded saves.
Sean Flynn, Cole Peterson and Jenna Steininger each put a point on the scoreboard for Vintage Beach. Keeper duties were split between David Greene and Ben Sato in the loss.
Solid Rock Construction put the second loss in the record last Thursday night against Gulfview Windows and Doors. The win gave Gulfview their second win of the season.
Gulfview put eight goals up against Solid Rock off the feet of Keith Mahoney with a hat trick, two goals by Daniel Adan and Raul Loera, and a single by Jesse Kun. Matt Fletcher stopped 10 strikes in the game.
Chris Scott and Josh Furman were the scorers for Solid Rock, battling it out for first place. Teammate Mark Long had five saves against the Gulfview offense.
In the first two games of the night, Blalock Walters and Moss Builders tied with the score 3-3 and Beach Bums handily won against Signature Granite with the final score of 11-6.
One team ultimately will not make the playoffs, with nine teams in the league. At the end of the regular season on Aug. 27, seed nine will be eliminated, ending the team’s playoff hopes.
