LANCASTER - The Newport Beach Slammers, a boys under 11 club soccer
team captured the California State Championship in the open division with
a shootout win over the San Diego Surf.
After the game ended in a 3-3 tie, two overtime periods could not decide
a winner.
Finally in a shootout, goals by Richard Gadbois, Oscar Aguero, Logan
Condon, Adam Holstein and Jarrett Daniel proved enough for the win.
Holstein also blocked two Surf shots in goal to seal the win.
The Slammers have won various tournaments throughout the season including
the Surf Cup, League Cup, State Cup and were named the Coast Soccer
League Champions.
The group has been selected to go to France in June to compete. They are
currently seeking donations or looking for a team sponsor to raise money
for the trip.
