The Pateadores BU16 found peak form in the championship match to win the OC Kickoff Classic with a 4-1 victory over LA Premier Black. After some uneven pool play, the BU16 raised its game, combining crafty one-touch soccer, with a stingy defense, to claim the title in convincing fashion.
The BU16, coached by Francisco “Pancho” Diaz, complete the summer tournament season, which started at Surf Cup in July, with a record of 5-3-2. Other notable results of the summer include a 2-1 win over Mustang Hotspur (Danville, CA.) and a 0-0 draw with LA Galaxy BU16.
