Angel City rounded out out the summer SMASL 7s season with three wins and two titles, a first for the club.
ACFC started the roll with a hard-fought, often scrappy 4-3 win over Del Rey City to take the Setanta Division cup. Down 2-0 early, ACFC rallied back on goals from David Woirhaye and Marius Sandvik. The squads then traded goals with Dan Klein netting a strike, before Craig Blois sealed the win -- and the title -- with a goal in the dying minutes. ACFC finished at 7-3-0 (including a voluntary default during the World Cup match between the US and Ghana). Logan Redlin -- who was named season MVP for his consistent performances between the posts throughout the summer season -- made several key saves in the close match.
Angel City FC -- which had captured the Sevilla Division title last week with a 5-2 win over Del Rey City Premier -- did not lie down on its laurels, taking a 4-2 win over a strong AWOL Select side to finish the season 8-1-1 (the one loss was a default during World Cup). Russ Muratov went on a scoring surge is search of the Angel City golden boot scoring title, netting a hat trick, while Michael Sharp scored a single. However Muratov's final season tally of 23 goals fell three shy of Woirhaye, who's single goal on the day boosted his total to 26 goals, handing the quick striker the golden boot.
The AC Allstars ended out the season with a 6-3 win over That's What She Said to take second place in the Santiago Division with a 7-3-0 record (including the World Cup default). Mike Gemballa and Volkert Besseling contributed braces with Klein and Blois adding singles of their own. A goal by Jonny Ibanez was disallowed due to some perceived contact in the goal mouth.
Registration for the spring SMASL season begins in November with play set to start in early February 2011. In the meantime 12 squads will be competing in the Angel City Soccer League starting Oct. 16 at Playa Vista. More info
