The Santa Clara Sporting ’94 team remain in 1st place in the 2011 Far West Regional League B Bracket after drawing a 1-1 tie against the PAC Tigres team last night at the Santa Clara Youth Soccer Park. Both teams came-out flying from the start with an incredibly high pace, and each team drew blood trying to score in an exciting game. The game ended the first half without a goal, and both teams huddled-up at halftime trying to adjust tactics and find a winning goal during the second half.
PAC got on the scoreboard about 10 minutes into the second half when a ball squirted to the top of Sporting’s goal box during a corner kick, and a Tigres midfielder nailed a shot into the upper corner of the Sporting goal. But Sporting answered back about 10 minutes later on a free kick that was tipped into the net by a midfielder Edgardo Cuellar Franco who ran onto the ball and flicked over the PAC goalie.
It was an extremely intense and exciting game filled with quote a few spectators on a Tuesday night.
Santa Clara and the NW Nationals now sit in 1st and 2nd place in the B bracket, and will travel to Pomona (Southern California) to face Albion and the West Coast teams in the U17 playoffs on November 19th-20th. Right after the team returns from SoCal, they travel the following week back to San Diego and compete in the College Surf Cup Tournament held Nov 25th-27th. The team was the U16 Finalist last year.
