Even up
Miller's goal gives Seahorses 1-1 tie against O.C. Blue Star
LA MIRADA, Calif. (July 18, 2007)—Stephen Miller’s goal off an assist by Chris Leiva in the 70th minute gave the Southern California Seahorses a 1-1 tie with the Orange County Blue Star in a USL Premier Development League match Wednesday night at La Mirada High School.

Leiva served the ball from the right side into the goal area, where Miller made a lunging kick to put the ball into the net.

The goal erased the 1-0 lead the Blue Star (3-9-3) built on a goal by Rafael Macedo (Luis Smith assist) in the 48th minute.

The Seahorses (4-6-5) dominated play but were frustrated by a series of near-misses. They outshot the Blue Star, 14-6. Forward Ben Page was particularly active around the net throughout the match but ultimately came up empty.

The Seahorses finish their season Saturday night against the Bakersfield Brigade at La Mirada High School’s Goodman Stadium (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.
