Sonic suffer heartbreaking loss with not much time left on the clock

(4)Chiefs vs Sonic(3)

The Chiefs didn’t get playing the way they wanted until the mid way mark of the game on Friday night. But like they say, its better late than never. On two straight occasions, the Chiefs were forced to level the game. First, N.Morrone made it 3-3 with less than five minutes remaining, and A.Zarzour avoided overtime snapping a very late tie leaving all but 23 seconds on the clock. Sonic looked in good shape when A.Passarelli buried his second in the third period to put his team up 3-2. Four players collected two points each that included M.Pace and A.Amicone combining with four helpers while the captain F.Pace scored while adding an assist. It was just an unfortunate set of events for Sonic, who felt they deserved better. No doubt, a better outing compared to last weeks encounter with the Brewers.  As for the Chiefs, so far so good for a team that found another way to win.

Armos lacked consistency in close loss to Generals

(5)Generals vs Armos(4)

The Generals weren’t happy with their play for the most part. Eventually, they figured out how to turn things around and were rewarded on three quick goals to shift the game. That’s what happens when you play in spurts. The Armos had their moments as well but weren’t consistent enough to play a full 45 minute game. The see saw effect ultimately went the Generals way despite the pressure Armos was pushing toward the latter stages of the third period. Many players contributed-from the two sides with perhaps F.Bchara deserving the most praise. The forward scored twice that included the winner while M.Larin helped set up three teammates. The Armos saw A.Minassian do damage by bagging a pair. Even though the Armos dropped their first encounter, they will still take plenty of positives-from this loss. By adding some more key pieces to the puzzle while developing chemistry throughout the season, the near future looks bright for them.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Fadel Bchara of the Generals. After tying the game fairly late in the second period, F.Bchara did one better by adding his second shortly after that held up for the winner.
