San Diego Sockers News Release
The San Diego Sockers improved to a perfect 4-0 with a 15-2 victory Saturday night.
San Diego's Scott Martin opened the match with the first goal in the 4th minute of the first quarter. Six minutes later Anthony Medina capitalized on Vegas goalkeeper Ezequiel Sanchez's run to the top of the circle as Medina chipped the ball over and into the goal. The Sockers carried that energy into the next fifteen minutes as Paul Wright set the mood for the 2nd quarter after dribbling from the kickoff to blast a shot though Sanchez. The Sockers then ran with a goal spree to finish the half 7-0 and carry their lead until the final whistle in the fourth quarter.
Brian O'Connor, Eric Wunderle, Aaron Susi, Garth Archibald, and Nate Hetherington finished with a goal each for the night. Chiky Luna wrapped up the night with back-to-back goals, while both Kraig Chiles and Anthony Medina earned a hat trick. Itzik Rapaport put two on the board for Vegas with a minute left in the third quarter and two minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Chiles' second straight three-goal game, gives him a league high eight on the season.
Vegas suffered an injury in the second quarter after Chiles slammed a shot into Mitchell Jenkins' ear. Mitchell never returned to the match. Ze Roberto was ejected from the match after knocking Rapaport to the ground with a knee to the back with nine minutes left in the third.
The Sockers will next face the Denver Dynamite at home, Dec. 5, at 6:15 pm
