Brigade fall to Seahorses for second time, 1-0
By Brigade Staff Writer Matthew Martz The Bakersfield Brigade suffered a disappointing loss to the So Cal Seahorses when the two clubs meet for the second time this season on Saturday at BCHS Stadium. The Brigade (2-6-2) posted their first loss in their last four outings as the Seahorses spoiled any chance of evening the two game season series at one a piece, the first of which saw the Seahorses (3-2-3) defeat the Brigade 6-2 back on May 9.
The match started with the Seahorses immediately attacking the Brigade defense, playing much of the first half on the Bakersfield end of the pitch, creating extended periods of possession.
So Cal would get their first scoring opportunity just 17 minutes into the contest when Seahorses’ forward Ryan Shaw received a serve just inside the area, but was stopped point blank by an outstretched Steve Trojanowksi.
The match would remain scoreless and the Brigade would have only one shot on goal entering halftime.
The second half would begin much the same as the Seahorses were once again denied the go ahead goal at the 45-minute mark, as the Seahorses overloaded the Brigade box creating another opportunity for Trojamowski to make two incredible saves moving from his right to left to take away two point blank scoring chances.
The Seahorses would finally break the deadlock when Marc Bloom scored into an empty net passed a sliding Trojanowski off a loose ball inside the Brigade area at the 47-minute mark, giving So Cal a 1-0 advantage.
Bakersfield’s best scoring opportunity came at the 88-minute mark when Leo Munoz sent a cross into the So Cal area to forward Wes Feighner who nodded a header just over the far post.
Seahorses’ keeper Dan Benton (1.33 GAA) made it look easy with one save on four Bakersfield shots on goal, posting his first clean sheet of the season.
Brigade keeper Steve Trojanowski (1.20 GAA) has been red hot between the posts and made four saves on seven So Cal shots on goal, keeping Bakersfield in the hunt for the equalizer.
The Brigade are currently in eighth place in the PDL Southwest Division, three points back the seventh place BYU Cougars and 13 points out of a playoff spot, with only six games remaining.
The club will make a short one-game road trip taking on the Lancaster Rattlers on June 27 before returning home to host the Fresno Fuego on Friday, July 3 at BCHS. Kick off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
