Area Sports Results 

The Braves boys drop a rain-shortened soccer match to the Dons, The Saints hoopsters 

Boys Soccer 

Santa Barbara at Lompoc  [Non-League]  

  It started to sprinkle intermittently shortly after 3 p.m., the JV game started at 3:30 and it really began to rain around 4 p.m. . The weather continued to deteriorate with gusty winds, and cold increasing throughout the evening. Eventually, with the field getting slick, the varsity contest, comenced about 5:30, was called off about 1/2 hour into the 2nd half.

Varsity  

#7 [Div 1] Santa Barbara 1, Lompoc 0  

  The Final non-league match for both squads, was called after 65 minutes due to the weather and field conditions, but not before the visiting Dons had managed to put a crooked number on the board.

  Early in the 2nd half, Adrian Gamez found Jorge Garcia-Torres near the corner 0f the 18 yard box, Torres then drilled an upper corner shot past the goalkeeper just inside the far (left) post for the only goal of the match. 

  The Dons back line (Carlos Hernandez, Freddy Pacheco, Alonso Salamanca, Sutter Munizich) played quite well and kept the pressure away from GK Angel Cervantes as he tallied Santa Barbara's 4th shutout of the year.

  Jose Cardenas had 6 saves (including a pair of spectactular stops) for the Braves, and got some help from Defenseman Joey Jacinto who cleared a loose ball from just in front of the goal.

Dons [5-1-1]: Goal/Assist - Jorge Garcia-Torres (50th, Adrian Gamez). 
Goalkeeping - Angel Cervantes (65 min, 2 saves, 2nd shutout of the season).


Braves [3-3-2]: Goal/Assist - NONE. Goalkeeping - Jose Cardenas (65 min, 6 saves).

Junior Varsity 

Lompoc 0, Santa Barbara 0

In the afternoon preliminary, also mostly played in the rain, neither squad could pierce the defense. Despite a strong defensive effort in the back, the Lompoc Keeper Leo Calvo had to make a significant number of stops.
