Coming back after COVID quarantine and social distancing, adult indoor soccer started back on the small outdoor field only to be forced back inside last week thanks to tropical disturbance rainstorms.
With the soccer action back inside, both team Slim’s Place and team Duncan Real Estate dominated in their games against Sato Real Estate and Gulfview Windows and Doors, respectively.
In the semifinal game, Slim’s Place won the game 12-4, with goals by Josh Sato, Sean Flynn, Ben Sato and Erin Felipe. J. Sato was credited with 22 saves in the game.
Diego Felipe and Kevin Roman both had four goals in the game for Slim’s Place. Brayan Felipe and Yuri Pereira helped with the scoring and the win by putting the soccer ball in the net. B. Felipe scored one goal, while Pereira scored three goals.
Handing Gulfview Windows and Doors a goose egg loss, Joey Hutchinson and Ach Lieb both put four points on the scoreboard for Duncan Real Estate. Single goals by Damir Glavan and Zach Long solidified the championship game slot for their team.
The goalkeepers were busy in the semifinal games. In addition to J. Sato’s saves, Gulfview’s Brandin Holcomb had 19 saves in the game against Duncan.
Robb Marshall worked in the goal for Duncan Real Estate marking at least 22 saves in the win. Mark Long, brother of Zach, protected his next with a recorded 21 saves as his team went on to play in the championship game.
Long’s saving ways continued in the championship game against Duncan Real Estate with 22 saves. Marshall, M. Long’s counterpart on the Duncan Real Estate squad, had 24 saves in the final game of the season.
Once again Hutchinson and Lieb were the high scorers for Duncan Real Estate. Single shots sailed into the net to put up points by Jenna Steininger, Glavan and Z. Long.
Slim’s Place’s high scorer Roman nailed six shots that were turned into points for his team, as Marshall could not stop the shots. D. Felipe scored four points, with two by B. Felipe and singles by Pereira and PJ Smargisso, giving their team the big W.
With the win, Slim’s Place team members were named the first COVID Cup champions.
