SSL SWOOPS TO YET ANOTHER TITLE

3RD TITLE IN LAST 4 SESSIONS

 Another nail-biter! In this hard fought game vs Imo's, you couldn't relax until the clock read zero. A great team like Imo's is not to be underestimated. With the score 4-1 late in the game, you didn't dare relax or take them lightly. They are the kind of team that can score quickly & often. Even though there was a 3 goal lead, late in the 2nd half, SSL didn't stop playing hard or creatively. If you give Imo's anything, they score a goal, it's 4-2, then another quick goal would make it 4-3, & we've all been there before. You don't want to do that. Particularly with a great offensive squad like Imo's.

So, SSL kept the pressure on thruout the game, holding the high-powered Imo's side to one goal, & closed out their 3rd championship in the last 4 sessions, with a tight, 4-1 win in last Thursdays finals at Concord.

The SSL side had to use a different approach in this match. The last time SSL met Imo's, on 8/21, Imo's walked away with an impressive, one sided  7-3 win, stopping the SSL winning streak @ 5 games. So, obviously, something had to change for this match, or it would have resulted in a repeat of the previous encounter. In the previous meeting, the SSL side seemed lethargic. For those of you that don't know what lethargic means, it can be loosely described as slow & disinterested.

They weren't running, marking or playing aggressively or physically. This match was different. It was end to end action from beginning to end. They ran, they marked, they challenged every ball. They created a lot of offense & it was only due to the strong Imo's defense that SSL didn't score more goals.

SSL started quickly, just as they had in their previous meeting, with Eden Coralic, & a great effort in the box, pushing the ball past the Imo's keeper for an early 1-0 lead. A bit later in the half, Ronnie Rowden connected on another chance in the box when, with the keeper out of position, knocked the ball into the net, thru the legs of a startled keeper for a 2-0 lead.

This was erie because in the previous match, SSL went up 2-0 only to end up losing. Each SSL player was aware of that fact & they were determined not to have a repeat of that performance. They didn't!  Even when Imo's scored on a breakaway to halve the score to 2-1, SSL didn't break stride, continuing to pour on the pressure, & that pressure again had positive results. Guillermo Cortez pushed the lead back to a 2 goal cushion with another of his patented bad angle bombs, giving the SSL side a 3-1 half-time lead. A lead they wouldn't relinquish.

The SSL defense stiffened even more in the 2nd half, withstanding a 5 minute period in which they couldn't get control of the ball nor get it out of their end. Excellent goal keeping, again, by Dave Shelton & an excellent defensive effort by the whole team, in getting back to pick up the opponents, thwarted any Imo's efforts & ultimately lead to a 2nd goal by Guillermo Cortez, upping the score to 4-1 & that was the way the game ended, with SSL holding Imo's scoreless for the entire half. As someone once told me, you can never have too much ice or too many championships. This will add another to the ever expanding SSL trophy case. Congrats to the SSL side. See you next session!

Scoring: Guillermo Cortez, 2 goals; Ronnie Rowden & Edin Coralic with 1 goal each; Casey Walsh, Bernard Anic, Mike Hogan & goalie Dave Shelton, each with 1 helper.

Congratulations to David Hipperson, leading the scoring for the entire SSL side with 30 points, followed closely by Guillermo Cortez with 29. The entire final standings & stats follow the pics.

 Kudos also to the SSL defensive side of the ball. For the 8th session in a row, they lead the league in fewest goals allowed. They scored 52 goals in 8 games, allowing only 23, for a differential of an amazing 29. To put that in perspective, their closest competitor scored 34, allowed 28 & had a differential of 6. Another great job by the "D".

BACK ROW: Tony Meadows; Edin Coralic; Guillermo Cortez; Casey Walsh & Otto Etzel.

2nd ROW:  Ronnie Rowden; Jayson Adelsberger; David Shelton; Mike Hogan & Sladan Kurtovic.

TONI'S TIGERS DO IT AGAIN

WIN OT THRILLER TO SECURE CHAMPIONSHIP

What a game it was! And what is truly amazing is how they got to the finals to begin with. Following the finish of the regular season, the Tigers found themselves in a 2nd place tie, not only with one team, but two teams. Based on goals allowed (this is THE most important part of a game), the Tigers advanced past the two others & secured a berth in the finals against the undefeated, Tie One On side.

The game was a classic chess match, with each team getting offensive opportunities often. The Tigers scored 1st. Then Tie One On, & back & forth & so on & so forth. The score went from 1-0, to 1-1. Then 2-1 Tigers, then 2-2. Then 3-2 Tigers, then 3-3. Then, Tie One On took the lead for the 1st time in the game at 4-3, but the resilient Tigers came back, tied it up @ 4-4.

This is when it really got interesting. Lot's of folks in the stands were watching this one. Late in the game, Tie One On took a 5-4 lead, & it looked grim for the Tigers. However, with time ticking off the clock, & down to about 40 seconds to go, the Tigers tied the game & forced overtime.

In the 5 minute overtime, with about 2 minutes left, one of the Tiger forwards broke down the left sideline with the ball, veered toward the goal, let go with a bomb that whistled past the startled Tie One On keeper, for a thrilling, 6-5 overtime win. A fun & entertaining game to watch, the Tigers were rewarded with a hardfought, exciting victory for yet another League Championship, just the latest one in a long history of Championships for Toni's Tigers. Congrats to all.

FC ST. LOUIS MEDALS

AT "SHOW-ME" GAMES

As they did last year, FC STL went undefeated in bracket play, posting 3 shut-outs along the way, & reached the Championship game for the second successive year. Last year, tied 1-1 at the end of regulation, they ended up losing in penalty kicks to a very tough U City team. This year, however, it was a bit different.

Scoring 1st on an excellent unassisted effort by Jack Coleman, the FC STL side took an early 1-0 lead & appeared to be on their way to a win. However, the Keystone Homes team, built around Chris Caccitiore, Steve Musenfecter, Tom Malle & Eric Delabar, evened the score at 1-1 on a controversial play & then took the lead at 2-1 on another contested play that resulted in a penalty kick.

Later in the 2nd half, the Keystone team scored 2 more goals to put the game out of reach in this 95 degree missouri summer heat, & took home the gold. The FC STL, for the 2nd year in a row, was awarded the silver for their 2nd place finish.

Scoring for the FC STL side: Nick Vitale, Jack Coleman  & Tom Simpson, 2 goals each; Eddie Muehlheausler, John Muehlheausler, Steve Vitale, & Wally Stokes, 1 goal each. See ya'll next year!!!

SSL CLOSES WITH SOLID WIN

PLAYS FOR CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT

The 8-3 win vs. the Buckshots, put the finishing touches to another solid session by the SSL side. Finishing the regular session 6-0-1, was good for 18 points & once again, a berth in the Championship game this Thursday.

The win vs. the Buckshots was a workmanlike effort, with the entire team contributing, either on offense or on defense. Once again the SSL side lead the league in fewest goals allowed at 22, although not their best effort overall, but certainly good enough for their 6th consecutive session winning that coveted defensive title.

The game started quickly for SSL, finishing twice for an early 2-0 lead. But, just like last week, the opponent scored two quick goals of their own to knot the score at 2 all. But unlike last week where the opponent, Imo's,  continued to score, serving SSL with their only loss of the session, this week SSL scored the 3rd goal & never looked back, en route to an 8-3 win over the always tough Buckshot side.

As luck would have it, the opponent for the SSL side in the Championship game this Thursday @ 8:40 on field #1 will be none other than the same team that handed SSL their only loss of the session, Imo's. SSL has faced Imo's twice previously in Championships, winning both, by scores of 8-2 & 6-4. SSL will try to keep that particular winning streak in place.

Contributing to the SSL win vs. the Buckshots were David Hipperson with 2 goals & 2 helpers; Guillermo Cortez with 3 goals; Ronnie Rowden, Sladan Kurtovic & Mike Hogan with 1 goal each & Casey Walsh, Tony Meadows & Johnny Pens, with 1 helper each. Hope to see you all at the Championship match this Thursday, 9/4/08 @ 8:40 vs. Imo's. See you then.

IMO'S SNAPS 5 GAME WIN STREAK

SSL RETAINS HOLD ON 1ST

If you are a SSL fan, it was ugly. If you are an Imo's fan, it was a beautiful thing. Imo's came to play. The game started very fast for the SSL side, taking a quick 2-0 lead in the 1st few minjutes. Looking sharp & attacking aggressively, the SSL side scored quickly, however, Imo's, always a difficult & smart opponent, scored 2 of their own, to knot the score @ 2 all. But, SSL came back, scored another to make the score 3-2, & it looked as if SSL was on their way to another win.

Not so fast! No one told that to Imo's. Knotting the score @ 3-3, that was the way the half ended, & momentum abruptly changed to the Imo's side. Five un-answered goals by the Imo's side later, the final score read: Imo's 7, SSL 3. A real wake-up call.

Imo's came to play. They were aggressive, physical, attacked & defended well, & certainly took the SSL side out of their game. Imo's was consistently getting men open & finding that open man. SSL did little to offset this strategy. As it got later in the game, the SSL side pushed forward only to have it cost them goals. This was a game that started all SSL & ended all Imo's.

Fortunately for SSL, their 5 wins going into this match, was still enough to maintain their 3 point lead & hold onto 1st in the division. This week SSL will face the Buckshots, again, an always tough opponent in a difficult time slot, 5:55. These early games are almost as difficult for the players to attend as the late ones. If the SSL side can win this final game, they'll find themselves in the Championship match next week for the 7th time in the last 9 sessions. A pretty remarkable run. Hope to see you all at the game.

BAR B Q

As most of you are aware by now, following any early games SSL plays, we'll have the obligatory parking lot BAR B Q. This Thursday is no exception. Following the 5:55 game, the SSL side will repair to the parking lot to grill up some good eats. Bring something to throw on the grill & join us. It's always a good time. See you there.

DONT FORGET THE SSL REUNION SEPT 27TH

WINNING STREAK CONTINUES

REACHES 5 STRAIGHT

In another strong performance by the SSL side, they dominated a depleted & undermaned Fossils team & maintained their hold on 1st place. The Fossils, previously the 2nd place team, were missing their strongest player, their goal-scoring midfielder, & that made all the difference. Additionally, they were late arriving, but by that point, SSL already had a comfortable 3 or 4 goal lead, & they carried that momentum along for the entire game.

SSL played extremely well defensively, as they always do, allowing only 3 goals, giving them a measley 2.4 goals per game average over 5 games, clearly far ahead of their nearest competitor, who has allowed 21 goals over the same 5 games. Additionaly, the offense came out on fire.

They pushed up effectively, distributing the ball unselfishly, creating many scoring opportunities. They could easily have scored another 3, 4 or 5 goals, had they been a little more accurate or a little luckier. As it was, they took a 5-1 score to the half & never looked back.

Contributing to the scoring effort was: David Hipperson with 3 goals & one helper; Guillermo Cortez & Edin Coralic with 2 & 1 respectively; Jayson Adelsberger with 2; Johnny Pens with 3 helpers & Casey Walsh, Tony Meadows & Bernard Anic each with 1 helper.

This Thursday, 8/21, we play one of the two 2nd place teams, the always tough & resourceful, Imo's on field #2. Imo's, always a difficult opponent, just beat PLS Zoom last week, to tighten up the race for the Championship. They are never to be underestimated. They are a veteran club, been there, done that, & if you take them lightly, you'll end up in the bar wondering how you lost that game. Now they have the momentum, coming off that big win, & it'll be up to the SSL side to bring their best game, or it could be an ugly evening of soccer. Hope to see you all there. It'll be exciting.

SSL STRETCH WINNING STREAK TO 4 GAMES

HOLD ONTO 1ST PLACE

Wow! What a game. Just as advertised. Our match against our formidable opponents, PLS Zoom, lived up to its billing. It was anticipated that, after the Zoomers had beaten Soccer St. Louis in two straight, back to back wins, the last being a 6-3 loss in last sessions Championship, that this game would be hotly contested. It was!

You could just tell, you could feel it, the anticipation on both teams part was running high. It would be a fast-paced, high energy game, with both teams wanting to beat the other. This was not going to be one of those 10-2, sleep-walking blowouts. Plus, this was on field #3, which put all these players right next to one another on this very small playing surface & that would only help to fuel the fire. No, this would be right down to the wire. Again, it was.

The Zoomers jumped out to a very, very quick 2-0 lead, with some excellent play on their part & some lapses on SSL. Then Eden Coralic almost single handedly got SSL back in the match. After receiving the ball from Casey Walsh at just around mid-field. he turned toward the goal, took a couple steps & unleashed a bomb that the keeper could only wave at. SSL, now down only 2-1, was back in the game.

The intensity of the game was thrilling. Players on each team were flying. No prisoners were being taken. It was up & down action at its best. The multitude of spectators were certainly entertained.  Later in the 1st half, David Hipperson, after some excellent ball work, laid off a beautiful ball that Tony Meadows pounced on @ the top of the box & finished it quickly, knotting the score @ 2-2. It was a new game!

Then, shortly after the SSL 2nd goal, Guillermo Cortez pushed the ball quickly up the field, served it up to Ronnie Rowden, who streaked toward the goal, & one-timed it with the outside of his right foot & buried it in the back of the net, on a beautiful play, to put SSL in the lead at 3-2 for the 1st time in the game. It appeared SSL was getting into a rhythm & this was resulting in a lot of offensive chances. It looked like they were starting to feel it. That's the way the half ended, with SSL scoring 3 unanswered goals. But hold on. This was far from over.

The 2nd half started much like the first half. It was almost as if both teams were playing with a degree of desperation. It was definitely turning into a white-knuckle  affair. Early in the 2nd half, Bernard Anic collected the ball from Dave Shelton, turned up-field & found a lot of open space in front of him. On a beautiful play, he wound up, took the shot, Ronnie Rowden ran onto the ball, dummied it, & David Hipperson was there for the tap-in. Just like they wrote it up on the chalk-board at half-time. A huge goal, early in the 2nd, continued their momentum, & SSL increased their lead over the Zoomers to 4-2, with their 4th unanswered goal in succession. But don't go away. These were the Zoomers we were playing. They wouldn't be going away anytime soon.

The Zoom, shortly thereafter, finally scored their 3rd goal, closing the score to 4-3. Things once again tightened up dramatically. Back & forth, up & down, changing of possession, shooting & blocked shots. On that small field, things happen quickly, as it had been doing the whole game. Then, late in the half, on a beautiful throw from Dave Shelton, Jayson Adelsberger corralled the ball & slipped it past the on-rushing keeper for a 5-3 SSL lead, a lead  that they didn't relinquish! The Zoom scored another goal late to tighten the score to 5-4, which caused for some elevated heart rates & a wild finish. But, SSL held on & closed out a truly exciting 5-4 win for their 4th win in a row & 1st place in the division.

Folks, it was a lot of fun to watch. Two very good teams, very familiar with each other, going toe to toe, exchanging hay-makers & generally making life difficult for their opponents for 45 minutes. It was great soccer. The chances are very good that these two teams will see each other again in the finals. The Zoom is currently in 2nd place. If that is the case, hold on. You know it'll be a wild one, & fun to watch. See you then.
