Seahorses claim victory
Hawkins' goal, Larsons' saves propel Seahorses past Blue Star, 1-0
Conan Hawkins’ goal in the 67th minute and stout defense gave the Southern California Seahorses a 1-0 victory against the Orange County Blue Star on Wednesday afternoon at Concordia University in Irvine, Calif.

The win broke a three-game losing streak for the Seahorses (1-3-0), who are tied for sixth place in the 10-team Southwest Division of the USL Premier Development League. It was the Seahorses’ third consecutive victory over Blue Star dating back to 2006.

Hawkins scored off a cross by forward Ben Page on a corner kick. It was the second goal of the season for Hawkins. Goalkeeper Greg Larson made seven saves for his first shutout of the season.

The Seahorses return to action Saturday against the San Francisco Seals at La Mirada High School’s Goodman Stadium at 7 p.m.

The Southern California Seahorses play in the USL Premier Development League, the only national league giving elite amateur players a professional experience within United Soccer Leagues while retaining their amateur status. Founded in 1983 as a club, the Seahorses have traveled to more than 30 countries. They draw many of their players from local colleges, clubs and international soccer programs.
