Show Astros Topple Berlin, Remain Undefeated By Bruce Henderson The Park City Astros remained undefeated at beafing a surprisingly surpris-ingly strong Berlin team 2 to 1 at the city park on Saturday. The game was by far the stiffest test the Astros have faced in their first season of competition in the 11-12 yr. division of the Utah Jr. Soccer Assoc. Berlin jumped to a 1-0 lead early in the first half. It was the first time the Astros had been behind this season. Shawn Gleiden evened the score late in the first half and the score remained 1 to 1 at halftime. The Astros' final and game winning score came when Shawn Gleiden hustled after a poor Berlin goal kick and placed the ball just beyond the goalie's reach. Throughout the rest of the second half, the Astros continued to put pressure on the Berlin goal. Only the magnificent play of the Berlin goalie kept the Astro's score from going higher. Part of the credit for the Astro's win can be given to halfbacks Matias Alvarez, Randy Kennard and Kenny Lawson and their outstanding midfield play. Fullbacks Full-backs "Pig" Hazelrigg and Jimmy Hayes also performed creditably, keeping the ball away from the Astros' goal. The Astros next home game will be Oct. 15th at 2:00 p.m. at the City Park. |
