In the second half, Cameron Lancaster and Cenk Baykal each added a goal to the total.  The defense was up to the task and hungry for a shutout, our Guest goalie Scott Levy really took command of the defense and developed a quick comradory with Timothy Holtzhauser, Jordan Jones and Jarid Slopek as well as his season teammate Zack Hill.  They pulled off the shutout and the midfield (Jake Hyman, Vincent Arcuri and Thomas Jackson) owned the ball.  The six to zero score vs the MYSL(Midlothian Youth Soccer League) Heat was a statement of how well things came together.  Our second game vs the Hopewell Wahoo Thunder was a little warmer and the offense was functioning well again with James Lawrence scoring twice, and Arthur Vernooij, Cenk Baykal, Kyle Michalak and Juan (Kike) Galvan each scoring once, final was six to two. There was a great team dinner at Golden Corral and then back at the hotel some time in the pool plus a good night's rest to get ready for the Sunday games. </p><!-- EndContext --> <!-- BeginContext name="image-gallery" q="*" --> <div class="galleryImage"> <div class="imageFrame"><a href="/node/21498"><img src="/files/images/Saturn.thumbnail.jpg" title="CASL U16 Recreational Men Saturn soccer team took the CHAMPIONSHIP in Coed U16 White div. 2008 Mega Blast in Midlothian Virginia" alt="CASL U16 Recreational Men Saturn soccer team took the CHAMPIONSHIP in Coed U16 White div. 2008 Mega Blast in Midlothian Virginia" /></a></div> <div class="imageRating imgRating_0_0"> <span>Rating: 0.0</span> </div> <div class="imageTitle"> <a href="/node/21498">CASL U16 Recreational Men Saturn soccer&hellip; <!--&raquo;--></a> </div> <div class="imageAuthor"> <a href="/user/11600">holtzhauser</a> </div> </div> <!-- EndContext --> <p><a href="http://share.triangle.com/node/21498">read more</a></p> http://share.triangle.com/node/21498#comment Apex Recreational sports Sun, 30 Nov 2008 20:12:40 -0500 holtzhauser 21498 at http://share.triangle.com
