Asteroids Close Season with Win

The U-14 Asteroids closed the spring travel soccer season with a 1-0 win over Ewing West End. Miles Anglin scored in the final minute of play to upend Ewing.

The play began with Matt Golden’s fearless run down the right side of the field and cross to Aakash Muthu. Muthu took the pass and dropped it off to Anglin who used some fancy footwork to break free from the defender and drive home the winning shot.

The victory was due to solid teamwork throughout the game. The offense was lead by strikers Elijah Suggs and Muthu while wingers Adam Booker, Danny Kuriakose, and Momo Cissokho continually applied pressure on Ewing’s defense.

Despite not scoring in the first half, the Asteroids dominated play. Throughout the game, the midfield play of Matt Golden, Thomas James and Nicholas Libassi helped control the tempo.

Late in the second half, Ewing fought hard to score but their attack was consistently turned aside by the sparkling defensive play of Dan Spivak, Steven Sandoli, Mike Wijesinghe, Andrew Wang, Sharat Durbhakula and goalie Johnny Burke.

Several times late in the second half, Burke made a number of tremendous saves to keep Ewing off the scoreboard.
