PRESS RELEASE – The Southern Cobras won the battle of southern teams with a 5-3 victory over the Southern Heat, thanks in part to Keith Surber’s hat trick in the teams’ final regular season U17A match of the Docomo Pacific Robbie Webber Youth Soccer League at the Guam Football Association National Training Center.

With the win, the Cobras secured the No. 4 spot in league standings moving into the playoffs beginning Saturday. The team will face the No. 5 Wolverines at 9:30 a.m. in the first round of playoffs.

“At the beginning of the youth league season, we were a little off, but as the season progressed, we got to know each other on the team better and it just took off from there,” said Surber, a 17-year-old senior at Southern High School. “We’re looking to have fun in the playoffs. There aren’t any expectations to win, but at the same time, we don’t want to lose.”

In the Cobras-Heat match, Donovan Reyes and Jay Cruz scored the Cobras’ other goals. Gideon Tyquiengco struck twice for the Heat and teammate Riley Taijeron upped the theatrics with a successful penalty kick back flip.

In other U17A division matches, Phillip Ogo, Austin Cardines, Brian Tuncap, Cedric Sevilla, Sora Recella, A.J. Root, Jeffrey Mesias, Jared Collado, Jeffrey Ho and Wes Shiroma all scored in the league-leading ASC Trust Islanders Betde’s victory over the Sidekick SC. Kayla Kinney scored twice and teammate Matt Deloso scored once for the Sidekick SC.

The Wings Red shut out the Wolverines with goals from Gen Fudo, Isiah Lagutang, Cain Takasu, Marlon Evans and Scottie Angoco. The Strykers edged the Wings Black 3-2 with goals from Brandon Flores, Scott Ishizu and Philip Au. Hinako Ito and Daniel Del Carmen scored for the Wings Black.
