The Seahorses played a very tough match against long time rival LA Strikers on Sunday.  After regulation the score was 0-0.  Neither team had any truly great chances in regulation and it was a very physical match with LA Strikers receiving 6 yellow cards and 1 red.  The Seahorses unfortunately also got a yellow card or two.

Into overtime it was getting dark, cold and the Strikers looked to be fading in energy.  The Seahorses came at them strong but could not score in the first 15.  In the second 15 forward Javier dribbled across the box and was tripped up by LA Striker Frank and a penalty was awarded.  The kick was covnerted and it looked as if the Seahorses were going to win.  However, it was not until the last 5 were played that the Seahorses were assured of their victory.  The Strikers had a couple late surges and nearly scored but the Seahorses held on and will now face Tustin Celtic in the Semi-Final match of the Friendship Cup on March 4.

Post game ministry went well with friendly faces for the most part.  The Strikers congratulated us and were appreciative of such a great hard match.  It was a game to be proud of as God was glorified in our play.
