Gunners/Suns Advance to 2011 BSL Final


PLAYOFFS: SEMI FINALS

CAPITAL DISTRICT     7 
GATEWAY UNITED     5 

What a game. Truly worthy of the hype. The Saints opened the scoring with a couple of scores, one from Jewsbury and one from Quaranta. Then the Gunners got a couple of goals from Dane Richards (one of the assisted by Lindpere) to make the score 3-2 Gateway in front. The Seattle game really changed things when Rosales scored off a Montero assist (Both Gunner players) to give the club its first lead. Diego Chara tied the game up at 4-4 for the Saints, and then Sanvezzo reclaimed the lead for the Gunners at 5-4. The Saints were not done yet, as Donovan's assist once again tied the score up. The final play came off a Quaranta yellow card on Sunday. That let in Mendoza off the bench who had a goal and assist as the game winner. Capital District advances to the clubs 2nd BSL Championship Game.

PLAYOFFS: SEMI-FINALS

GOLD COAST     4 
SECOND CITY     3 (Overtime) 

Another classic match worthy of the playoffs. The Suns opened the scoring with 2 Zusi goals (average 1 point in 2 games). The Stars would equalize off a Josh Wolff goal. Matt Reis would give the Suns the lead back with a 7 save performance after it was determined he would not play in the Rev's 2nd game of the week. Brad Davis would tie up the game once again with his 2 assist (1 point average in 2 games). Then in the Saturday nightcap David Beckham gave the Suns their third lead with his assist. On Sunday the Stars tied it up for a third time with a Pardo assist. End of full time. Overtime began with none of the clubs 3 subs accounting for a score, so with reserves coming into play Renteria broke the deadlock with the game winning goal in overtime. Gold Coast advances to the clubs 1st BSL Championship Game.

  2. Of course our Stoners pull out a league season-high 8 points on a week they aren't playing.
