SAN DIEGO – Tested by travel and two young teams looking to make a statement in the MASL, the San Diego Sockers made a statement of their own: there’s still plenty of life left in these veteran legs.
Kraig Chiles and Cesar Cerda each netted a pair of goals and the San Diego Sockers held down the Empire Strykers 7-3 on Sunday night at Pechanga Arena, improving to 4-0 on the season. San Diego completed a grueling weekend sweep that began with a Saturday night 8-7 win in Dallas, and involved a day of travel heading into Sunday’s match. Angry with seven goals conceded on Saturday, the Sockers shut out Empire for the first, second, and fourth quarters. MORE

Special to East County Sports
BUFFALO, N.Y. – We couldn’t spoil the celebration this time Seals fans. The Seals’ offensive performance kicked off impressively in the first half when Austin Staats scored a goal just one minute into the game. Wes Berg joined the party as he flew in for a power play goal followed by a beautiful behind the back shot that became an instant candidate for SportsCenter’s Top 10.
The Seals put up a strong effort to bounce back from a three-goal streak by Buffalo in the third quarter, but a combination of penalties and unsuccessful shots prevented their comeback. Curtis Dickson & Austin Staats split two goals apiece tonight as Dane Dobbie and Jake Govett netted one each. MORE
