ANNA MARIA – The adult co-ed soccer league at The Center of Anna Maria Island started last Thursday night’s play with the two undefeated teams going head-to-head. Teams Pool America and Solid Rock Construction played 40 minutes of regular time with only one squad on top.
Starting the game off with a strong 2-0 lead at halftime, the Solid Rock team managed to hold off their strong opponent, letting them score twice.
Team captain Dean Hinterstoisser and Sam Parker shot the goals for Pool America, with assists by Parker’s husband, Eduardo Schlueter, and Octavious Cole. Cole, known for his flag football talents, joins the Island soccer family on the pitch this season.
Solid Rock’s win came off the boots of Julio Cantu, Leo Gonzalez, Raul Loera, Erica Nielsen and team captain Keith Mahoney. Loera and Mahoney are credited with a total of three assists in the team’s victory.
Currently ranked seventh, team Bubble Binz received a notch in the win column thanks to a forfeit by the Sato Real Estate team.
Winning by two goals in the second game played, Moss Builders defeated team AMI Dolphin Tours. Alex Villanueva scored the solo goal for the AMI Dolphin Tours team.
Also finding his footing on the soccer field as a transition from flag football, Karri Stephens is credited with a goal in the Moss Builders’ win. Teammates Stephen Adair and Greg Moss scored the remaining two points.
The Ross Built Custom Home team beat Gulf Drive Café 2-1. James Noblett and Jake Moss each got a strike past the Gulf Drive goalie.
Tyler Brewer put the single point on the scoreboard for team Gulf Drive Café. The loss drops the team to eighth in the team rankings going into week four play.
Finishing the night in a tie, Hampton Painting and Language Services Associates each scored five points, earning each team a point in the standings.
Alex Quintero had the only hat trick of the week, while teammate Juan Rodriguez scored two goals for the Language Services squad.
Leading the scoring for Hampton Paintings was Ethan Hampton. Team captain Danny Hampton, Moises Martinez and Austin Nutting each put up a single point to end another night of soccer on the Island.
