Maremoto FC 9 - 11 Ben Bridge

Maremoto's successful summer season had a big test against the furious offense of Home Team Opponent 'Ben Bridge.' Maremoto's defense had been previously proven by only letting four goals in the first two games against Ich Liebe and Point Break. This weeks game started as expected with a quick strike from Michael, who powered the ball into the goal within the first 10 seconds of the match! However, the currents changed, when Abukar Abukar, commonly known as Alto, our usual good natured Ref, played forward for the Home Team. Alto was a formidable opponent. Even the league's stoutest defense had no answer in the first half when Ben Bridge coupled Alto with an equally fast forward on the field leading to five quick goals to finish the first half in the lead. Ben Bridge's quick lead was shattered when Enrique and Utku stepped up and Katherine stopped the furious attacks from Home Team. The game was tied 8-8 with less then five minutes left on the clock. This high scoring game was put out of reach as Alto increased pressure on Maremoto with time on the clock winding down. It was a valiant effort by team Maremoto who scored 9 goals. The team was tested against skilled opponents but is now stronger than ever!

Player of the Match: Katherine was the cure to Maremoto's depleted female subs. She played full time and was a nightmare for the home team offense. Opponent Alto credited her with three good stops on him.

Maremoto FC 5 - 2 Point Break

Maremoto got off to its quickest start yet this season. Diego scored two goals in the first five minutes team Maremoto a 2-0 lead that they took into half time. Point Break wanted to come back in the second half and came out on fire. Team Maremoto's lead was threatened, but Diego had quick answers to Point Break's two goals keeping a two goal margin. Diego's ball handling skills and composure under pressure were nothing but torture for this week's opponent, who could not figure out a way to stop him. Sarah had a solid game controlling the midfield. She was all over the ball and never showed a sign of fading, even though there were no female subs. Yong had fabulous saves (one from a head shot in the box). He has become a formidable obstacle to opponents, who are learning to fear him! Utku made his debut showing Turkish drive and spirit. Laruen was awesome in defense showing more aggressive play than ever. She, Sarah and Marie showed great stamina in having to play the entire game. Vasily displayed great ball control and composure under duress. And, what can you say about Burak and Enrique other than solid, solid, solid. Michael capped off a team Maremoto victory by adding the final point that broke Point Break. 

Player of the Match: Diego! He proved why Spain is the European Champion by scoring four goals in the game. Sarah played so impressively that she must be given defensive player of the match.

Maremoto FC 3 - 2 Ich Liebe

In a solid start to the summer season, Maremoto held off a furious Ich Liebe for a win. In the first half, the opposition answered two quick goals by Michael. Like the Turkish national team, Maremoto did not let a shallow bench intimidate them. The attack led by Sarah and Singapore/Russia import Pavel kept Ich Liebe on their toes. Some disorganization in the back was overshadowed by a solid effort by goal keeper Burak. With a one goal lead going into the last minute, Maremoto was far from secure. A free kick brought on by Lauren’s handball pulled the entire opposition forward including the keeper. A valiant effort by the entire team was all that saved Maremoto from the frenzy of shots.

Player of the Match: Sarah. Endless effort garnered the Bostonian many steals and goal scoring opportunities. Seeming to be everywhere at once she kept going despite the oppressive heat. Not even a knock down by the opposing keeper intimidated her.
