Slim’s Place wins with Williams hat trick

ANNA MARIA – After starting the season off strong with two wins, Slim’s Place’s tie against Blalock Walters and its loss in week five put the team in second place, under undefeated Sato Real Estate. Week six action keeps the team in second place, just ahead of Servis First Bank with a 4-2-0 record thanks to a big win against Sandbar.

The first game of the night was action-packed and close, as The Gitt Team gave the Slim’s Place team a run for their money. Keeping goalkeeper Tuna McCracken busy, The Gitt Team offense put two points up with goals by Keith Mahoney and Daniel Aden.

Mahoney had two saves in the game while playing keeper. Teammate Raul Loera was credited with an assist and three saves for The Gitt Team.

McCracken’s 12 saves and single assist were accompanied by a Kali Richardson goal, as well as a hat trick by Jessica Williams. William’s final two goals gave Slim’s Place the all-important win to keep them in the league’s number two position.

With the three goals, Williams climbed up to the charts to be in third for top scorer going into week seven, along with Daniel Anderson, with seven goals in the season. Ugur Durmaz remains the leader with 14 points.

Durmaz had five goals for Servis First Bank against the Sandbar squad. Only one week remains in the regular season of co-ed adult soccer at The Center. Can team Sandbar get their first win against Emily Moss Design?
