Hermosa Beach Soccer Club’s Over-30 Men Still in the Hunt

After being downed in back-to-back matches, HBSC rebounded to a 3-2 record with one game left in round robin portion of the tournament.

Hermosa Beach, CA, May 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- After clinching the Division 30 League Title and opening the Champion’s Tournament with two straight wins, the Hermosa Beach Soccer Club’s (www.HermosaBeachSoccerClub.com) Division 30 team met with two weeks of difficult times. However, after being downed in back-to-back matches, HBSC rebounded to a 3-2 record with one game left in round robin portion of the tournament.

“Those two losses were definitely not expected. We lost four matches in 22 games during the regular season. Losing two games back-to-back is not something we have experienced all year. It really puts us in a tough position relative to moving on to the tournament semi-final match,” said Jesse Torres, Club Founder and Division 30 player. “We have to win the remaining round robin match and then hope for some lucky outcomes in the other matches.”

“I can’t explain those two losses. We definitely brought the stronger, quicker and more skilled team to both games. We also dominated both games. We simply struggled to close when it counted. Give all the credit to our opponents – they never gave up and walked away with the result,” said Brian Dragich, HBSC President. “This definitely takes us out of the driver’s seat. But it’s not over until the final whistle blows.”

The Hermosa Beach Soccer Club’s final round robin match will be played at the El Segundo Soccer Complex on June 1, 2008 at 8:00 am.
