SOCKERS SWEAT OUT OT WIN AT FURATI

Kraig Chiles netted the golden goal 58 seconds into overtime as the San Diego Sockers overcame a three-goal second half deficit to beat Revolucion Tijuana 6-5. Chiles had two goals and two assists for San Diego, and led the Sockers comeback by scoring the fourth quarter goal to make it 5-4, assisting on the game-tying power play goal by Anthony Medina, and then potting the game-winner. The Sockers (4-0) were forced to overtime in Tijuana for the third time in five games but remained a perfect 3-0 in those games.

TWIN MVPs POWER SOCKERS OFFENSE

2010-2011 PASL MVP Kraig Chiles is off to an even better start so far this season with 12 goals and 6 assists (18 points) in 4 games. Right behind him on the Sockers scoring table is Brian Farber, the 2008-2009 MVP who is second on the team with eight goals and two assists (10 points) in four games. So far, Chiles and Farber have accounted for 43% of San Diego's scoring (28 of 65 points).

SUSI 500: COUNTDOWN REACHES 11

Sockers captain Aaron Susi continues to excel in his 15th professional season of indoor soccer. With two more assists in Tijuana, including the assist on Chiles' game-winner in overtime, Susi improved to nine points (3 goals, 6 assists) in four games this season, increasing his career totals to 489 points. Susi needs 11 more points to reach the 500 career points milestone.
