was scored and the Saugus All-stars were beginning to have the taste of the championship they all wanted.  The game continued with excellent defense from Rebecca Pieropan, Amber Argon, Amy Gragas, Georgia Druliner and Brittany Krieg.  One thing became apparent early in the game; the Saugus goalkeeper came prepared for victory. 

Kate Wieselthier wound up playing keeper the entire game and was by far the player of the game.  Her keeper skills were impeccable.  Valencia was stifled for three quarters of play and Kate was awesome.  She demonstrated excellent keeper skills, challenging the offense of Valencia, diving blocks and aggressively challenging any shooters, the Valencia team could not score.  The Saugus All-stars controlled the middle of the field like any championship team does,  Jolie Stroh, Mel Cabrera and Shannon Clarke demonstrated excellent field management skills in the middle and continued to supply our forwards with the ball.  Valencia finally managed to slip a goal past the Saugus defense late in the fourth quarter and now double overtime was inevitable. 

The exhausted Saugus All-stars rested for a few minutes and then back on the field.  Both teams played like champions in the double overtime.  Valencia was double teaming our powerful forwards, Hannah Belanger, Jackie Rowson and Alexis Dubin throughout the entire overtime periods.  The overtime period ended and the game was still at 1-1. 

The shoot out was to begin, and the victor would be crowned Area 10-S All-star Champions.  Saugus sent out Mandi Pugliese, Jackie Rowson, Mel Cabrera, Terra Panica and Brittany Krieg to secure the victory in the shoot out.  Of course, the player of the game would secure the goal for Saugus, Kate Wieselthier.  Valencia’s first shot went in and so did Mandi’s first shot.  Then Kate decided that this shoot out would end early.  Kate Wieselthier blocked the next three shots from Valencia and with Saugus not missing a shot. Then it was up to Mel Cabrera to come up for the game winning kick, and it was "Hammer Time," MC came through and fired the ball past the Valencia keeper.  The Saugus All-stars, now Area 10-S Champions, smothered Mel; and Kate with cheers.  The game was intense. Two championship teams played their hearts out for almost two hours and when the dust settled, the Saugus All-stars were holding the Championship Title and are heading to Bakersfield to represent Area 10-S as the best team in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Congratulations to the talent filled coaches, Scott Lynch and Don Belanger, that manage these incredibly talented soccer players,.  Also, "thank you" to all of the parents for their support of the team throughout this enduring experience.

managed to sneak a weak shot into the net and the game ended with 0-1 loss for the Saugus All-stars.

Not to be discouraged and having the knowledge that a win or tie in the second game against Canyon Country would place them into the Championship Game next week, the Saugus All-stars showed up with Championship hunger in their souls.  Canyon Country All-stars played well and managed to score the first goal.  Down 0-1 in the second half, Jackie Rowson decided that she was going to show Canyon Country a thing or two about Saugus Soccer Spirit.  Jackie Rowson, from the middle of the field, took the ball all the way to the goal and kept pounding the shots at Canyon Country.  Jackie was being double teamed and knocked down continuously during her tirade on the keeper but refused to give into the pressure.  Jackie finally was able to push a goal through the tough keeper and defense of Canyon Country and got back our goal and tied the game. The game ended in a tie and secured a trip to the Section 10 All Star Championship Game for the GU14 SAUGUS ALLSTARS.

In a game that showed strength and power in both offence and defense, the team was using their heads and had great control on the ball.  Scoring first could be a great boost for any-team, and Saugus was the one to score first, on a PK.

Being up 1-0 at half-time, the team stayed pumped and before taking the field for the second half, they showed their Saugus Pride with the "Go Big Blue" cheer, that even got the sidelines pride-filled.

Great plays were made by all players.  For a team with only three practices together, they played a powerful game against Castaic.  Ball Control, Speed, and great heads for the game would show them scoring again, but to be taken back by a call of "Off-Sides!"

Never letting down, Saugus found themselves gaining another goal on a PK, bringing them two up against Castaic.

A great job, by a GREAT TEAM!!!
