Film Finances/ Grants Farm def Mansour 10-9
First round results:
Parity was the name of the game in the first round of the Harry East Memorial 8 goal games, as both games went to OT and one game went to marathon double OT.
On Friday, the father and son Casa Sombras team of Bolko and Conrad Kissling dueled it out with Mansour. The game was even throughout, Casa Sombras looked like they were pulling away in the 5th chukker behind some nice runs from Joseph Stuart, only to see Mansour turn the tables in the 6th and send the game to OT with the score tied at 11 all. In the overtime period, Justin Klentner made a great neck shot to place the ball right in front of goal for Juan Gonzalez, who scored the golden goal for the Mansour victory 12-11
Not to be outdone, the Film Finances/ Grants Farm and Dark Horse teams had to play two overtime periods to determine a winner! It was the first game in Santa Barbara for Sara Rotman’s Dark Horse team, and they put on a great show and came back from two goals down in the 6th chukker to send the game to OT with the score tied 10 all. Despite several shots just wide of goal in the first overtime period, the players were unable to score and grooms were frantically tacking up the 2nd overtime horse. At last, with only 2 minutes remaining in the 2nd overtime, Santiago Wulff drilled a pass to goal that Emma Stachowicz put in to give Film Finances/ Grants Farm the 11-10 victory.
