Friendly competition at its best

Starting the week’s soccer play in a 1-1 tie, team Shady Lady, coached by David Zaccagnino, and James Roadman’s Solid Rock Construction team exemplified the spirit of youth recreational soccer. Competition, skill development, teamwork and fun are all part of the sports experience at The Center.

The Shady Lady offense kept keeper Austin Guess, for Solid Rock Construction, busy defending the shots of players like Jesse Zaccagnino and Tomas Bartos. Four of the Shady Lady squad shared the goalie duties during the game, with two saves by J. Zaccagnino, and single stops by Bartos, Riley Karecki and Oliver Tirpak.

The defenses of both teams kept the scoring to a minimum, resulting in the tie game. The offensive strikes resulted in single goals by both teams.

Solid Rock Construction’s point came from a goal by McKenna Darak. Turner Worth is credited with an assist in the game.

Adding to his statistics in the record books for the week, J. Zaccagnino scored the lone goal for Shady Lady, in addition to his saves while playing in goal. Teammate Bartos made a single assist in the match-up.

With the end of the regular season finishing on May 11, the final games and schedules leading to the championship game will be decided in the coming weeks.
