Forward Chris Leiva sets up three goals in Seahorses' season-ending 4-0 victory
LA MIRADA, Calif. (July 21, 2007)—The Southern California Seahorses left no doubt who was in control Saturday night in their final USL Premier Development League soccer match of the season against the Bakersfield Brigade.
From beginning to end, the Seahorses did all of the scoring, netting goals in the second minute and 90th minute—plus two in between—in a 4-0 rout at La Mirada High School.
Forward Chris Leiva was the star, setting up three of the goals with beautiful passes to eager teammates. The recipients who made good on Leiva’s crosses were Rick DeKoning on a header in the second minute of the match, Brandon Gonzalez in the 56th minute and Ben Page in the 70th minute. Josiah Snelgrove added the final goal in the 90th minute on a long lead by Stephen Miller.
Goalkeeper Greg Larson posted his third shutout of the season, tallying seven saves.
The Seahorses completed their season with a 5-6-5 record. They are in a tie for sixth place in the 10-team PDL Southwest Division with the San Francisco Seals. The Seals have one game to play.
After seven seasons in the PDL, the Seahorses have an overall record of 71-39-12.
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.
