Another exciting season begins on the Island pitch

ANNA MARIA – After a couple of weeks off, the soccer action resumed at The Center for the adults last week. The game play started with Sandbar and Flynn Law taking the field.

The first half of the game ended at a 3-3 tie, but Flynn Law turned the game around in their favor after a quick fourth and final goal by the Sandbar team after a bobble of the attempted save by Flynn Law’s Mark Long.

Long ended the game with seven saves in his team’s victory. Two Flynn Law players had hat tricks. Damir Glavan and Eric Pullen both got three shots past the Sandbar goalie, Kevin Mulcahy, for the six points and the win.

Mulcahy made nine recorded stops in the action-packed game.

On the other side of the field, Alecx Pichardo scored three goals of his own for the Sandbar team, with an additional goal by Luis Pichardo.

With week one complete, in addition to Glavan, Pullen and Pichardo, three other players top the scoreboard with three goals. Timo Vecchio, Kali Richardson and Daniel Hampton all put three points in the game stats.

Connor Haughey tops the charts with 10 saves. In his second season as an adult player, Tyler Brewer is on the top of the leaderboard with three assists going into the second week of spring soccer on the Island.
