Game Comments: 

Santa Clara Sporting showed once again why they are the top dog in the PSL as they ended SSFAC's season with a 6-0 defeat in the 2nd round of the PSL Abronzino Cup. Sporting struck in the 6th minute and piled up a 4-0 halftime lead. SSF came out in the second half and tried to make a game of it. They played more organized and had the better of possession for a good amount of the half, but Sporting's quickness and effective play didn't allow South City many chances on goal. Adrian Monroy did a solid job of goal keeping as he has done all season long for the team. His diving finger tip saves left a few Sporting players shaking their heads in disbelief.  The defense was lead by the always steady Paul Pavich and the contributions of Reuben Wartens, Ali Ibrahim, Robert Rustia, Scott Ellis & Stephen Shaw-Smith. The midfield play of Bobby Quinlan, Gareth Lea, Shane Kutaka, & Pedro Crispin matched up well with Sporting as they held the ball well and tried to generate attacks for lone striker Leo Monteiro who tried to slip past the defense for scoring opportunities.

SSFAC thus completed a tremendous year that saw them participate in the Majors Division for the 1st time after promoting from the Premier Division last year. They ran off an unbeaten streak of 8 games to start the season and finished in 2nd place achieving their highest finish at any level while in the PSL.....quite an accomplishment in their inaugural season in Majors.

The team will now take a break until preseason training begins in late July. In the meantime the coaching staff will look to fill a few rosters spots to help improve the club as they look forward to more success in the 2014-15 season. We will keep you up to date with all the goings on of SSFAC in the coming months....
