The Aegean Hawks, last year's USASA Region I champions, took a step
toward defending their title with a 1-0 win over the Champions
League representative Sport Club Portuguese (SCP).
At the West Side Park in Newark, NJ, both teams found themselves in
a stalemate at the halftime break. Tactical changes by the Hawks
created chances, and the game's only goal. Anders Kelto, who came on
as a substitute, scored on his first touch of the game when he
headed home a cross by Watson Prather in the 60th minute.
The final thirty minutes failed to produce a goal, but the Hawks
defense was able to withstand the pressure put on by SCP. The
chances were there but not many of the shots were on frame, so
goalkeeper Scott Kelsey only needed to make one save.
With the win, the Hawks advance to the Group S semifinals to host
Baltimore Colts FC on May 4. Even though these teams are two of the
top teams in the Mid-Atlantic region, this will be the first meeting
between the Colts and the Hawks.
