Without the scoring power of Zach Reda, Allied struggled to score against the solid and experienced Sato Real Estate squad. Two goals by Will Ktrezsmann led the scoring for Sato in the 6-1 quarter-final win.
Teammates Ryan Hogan, Hagan Toka, Race Azande and David Noval put points on the board for Sato Real Estate. Team Captain Josh Sato is credited with two assists, along with a single assist by Damir Glavan.
Keeper Mark Rudacille made nine stops in the big win. Allied’s Steve Oelfke made seven saves, while Clancy Vaughn had the single goal for her team in the game.
Sato Real Estate will face Blalock Walters in the Paul “Ace” Hayward Cup championship game. In overtime, Blalock Walters squeezed out the win against Burton Brick & Tile.
Blalock’s Chris Scott continued to be a scoring force with a hat trick in the second semifinal game of the night. Three additional points were on the scoreboard with single scores by Nick Bouchard, Matt Staggs and Austin Nutting.
Staggs and Bouchard are also noted in the statistics with solo assists in their team’s win. Most notable perhaps are the 10 saves by Kevin Mulcahy that took the game to additional time on the pitch.
Mulcahy’s counterpart on the Burton Brick & Tile team, Jonathan Aragon, had eight saves of his own. The goal scoring by Omar Polar, Zach Leib, and Cemal Duzgun just was not enough to take the Burton team to the championship game.
Polar and Duzgun each had two goals, with assists by Kris Yavalar and Oisin Crean.
Sato Real Estate will play Burton Brick & Tile in the final soccer game of the season at The Center.
Due to a rain delay, the flag football championship match-up will be rescheduled to a date to be determined. The winner of the game between Ugly Grouper and Mi-Box will play Beach Bums, who beat the Moss Builders team by one point in their semifinal game.
