Beach Bums, Salty Printing win on Island pitch

SPECIAL TO THE SUN
ANNA MARIA - Working hard all season paid off for the 8- to 10-year-old league team Beach Bums last Tuesday night. With the talents of Camden Rudacille in goal, the team finished the game with their first win of the season against Solid Rock Construction, 3-0.
Following the footsteps of his dad, Scott Rudacille, and uncle, Mark Rudacille, the Beach Bum’s goalkeeper made five critical stops in the victory. The tough defense shut out the Solid Rock offense in week three action.
Beach Bum’s Dylan Sato used his power leg to score two points in the game, along with a single goal by Miles Moss.
Isaac Roadman made big stops for Solid Rock Construction as the team’s goalie for the game. Despite best efforts by Roadman and his teammates, they could not capture their second win.
A forfeit gave Salty Printing their first W for the season in the adult co-ed soccer league. Will the win be the burst of momentum the young team needs to make it past the first round of playoffs on Thursday, May 19?
Salty Printing plays the Shady Lady team who won their second game of the season against Servis First Bank 4-2. Servis First rotated goalkeepers through the 40 minutes of official play.
Max Gazzo, Daniel Hampton and Tim Holly finished the game with four, three and two stops, respectively. On the other side of the field, returning to the league this season, Adam Mott made six saves, only allowing two by him.
The two goals scored by Tim Holly and Keith Mahoney for Servis First Bank just was not enough last Thursday night.
Nate Welch had two points for Shady Lady, while Juan Pablo and Jake Parsons each scored solo goals in the game.
Goalies were busy in the final game of the night with the Sato Real Estate versus Progressive Cabinetry matchup. With six official saves for each side, the fire power of Sato Real Estate was too much for the Progressive Cabinetry defense.
Sean Flynn and Ben Sato each shared keeper duty for Sato Real Estate. Flynn made four key stops and Sato saved two Progressive shots.
Two assists and three goals were recorded for Sato Real Estate’s Danny Anderson. Damir Glavan added two more points to his overall season tally. Selena Gonzalez and Will Kretzmann each put a single point on the scoreboard for the victors.
Finishing last week with a 2-4-0 season, Progressive Cabinetry’s Steve Oelfke and Robb Marshall worked hard to keep the point deficit at a minimum. Oelfke finished the game with six stops and Marshall made two saves.
The point scoring for Progressive was spread among four players: Michael Bolognone, Edwin Picardo, Kali Richardson and Timo Vecchio.
This week, Progressive Cabinetry faces the undefeated Moss Builders team, coming into the game with a 6-0 record. This final regular season game will determine the quarterfinal playoff bracket.
The adult soccer league’s playoffs will start on Thursday, May 19 at 6 p.m. One week later, the semifinal games will be played among the final four teams.
All eight teams still have a chance to play for the Paul “Ace” Hayward cup on Thursday, June 2. Can team Moss Builders stay on top?
