ACKERIA TAKES PREZ CUP OPENER
Tackeria came out swinging in The USPA Presidents Cup, taking the first match of the tournament in a commanding fashion, doubling Estrella’s score 8-4.
The President’s Cup is a regional tournament sanctioned by The United States Polo Association. The winner of the finals of this region will go on to compete in the national tournament.
In the regional opener, Todd Offen’s scoring was the engine that powered Tackeria; his 5 goals would have been enough for the win, but Rob Stenzel had 2 and Marcelo Castro had 1 to contribute to their dominating margin.
Estrella was led by Queco Dupont with 3 goals and Pedro Lara with 1. While held scoreless, George Hearst and Ricky Bostwick both played gallantly on defense with great stops to their credit.
The next match at Saratoga Polo is scheduled for Friday, July 25th at 5:30pm. For more information about Saratoga Polo, call 584-8108 or visit saratogapolo.com.
SCHEDULING NOTE: The final matches of The Spa Cup Tournament will be held once the rained out matches are rescheduled.
