Cal Cup 2009

Third Cal Cup Crown for Buenos Aires: Rush’d win Women’s title
By Jawwad Qamar

May 25, Moorpark, CA: The four days of non stop hockey in the beautiful setting of California hills came to an end with the 2-1 victory by Ciudad de Buenos Aires over the Dirty Birds from Vancouver, Canada at Cal Cup 2009. Buenos Aires also took the Cal Cup title in 2005 and beat the Dirty Birds in the 2006 finals.

Earlier the veteran Rush’d took the women’s $5,000 cash and crown by thrashing Jolie Pitts 8-0 in a one sided rematch of their Saturday’s meeting when the result was much closer at 1-0. Torrie Albini and Jesse Gey scored two goals each while Shellie Onstead, Vianney Campos, Tara Jelley Danielson and Heidi Faith each added one goal as their goalkeeper Barg Weinberg was hardly tested in the tournament. A combination of current and former USA national players, Rush’d dominated the women’s division by scoring 36 goals while allowing no goals in six matches.

Albini was the leading scorer in the entire super division with 9 goals and awarded the Ross Rutledge Award in memory of Canadian great Ross Rutledge who passed away in 2004. Rutledge was a fixture at Cal Cup for many years. >>More>>

2nd Men's Pan Am Cup

USA Finishes 7th in Pan Am Cup
The USA started this game on a high tempo, willing to redeem themselves after their disappointing game against Mexico in the cross-over game. They scored on their first penalty corner on a straight shot by Patrick Harris and on the second one a couple minutes later by Jarred Martin receiving the ball alone in front the goalkeeper.

Puerto Rico had trouble organizing their defense and USA scored four more goals before half-time (6-0). The pace and interest of the game dropped in the second half, with Puerto Rico seldom crossing the midfield line and USA adding 5 more goals, mostly on individual efforts and penalty corners.

Final score: 11 - 0, with a hat-trick for Jarred Martin.

FINAL STANDINGS:
The winner of the 2nd Men's Pan American Cup qualifies for the 2006 World Cup to be held in Monchengladbach (Germany), September 6 to 17, 2006.
