Burroughs Finishes Third in Own Soccer Tournament

It took 70 minutes to break a scoreless tie, but the Trinity Titans got a goal on a flicked shot by Melanie Gubicya to shutout the Burroughs Bombers 1-nil in the Saturday round-robin game of the annual Ray Beckman tournament at Burroughs.

The winning goal was picture perfect. Julia Gubicya, Melanie's older sister got the inbounds ball and headed it to Melanie. The play got started with a perfect corner kick form Sam Coleman.

"That was a good shot and a good win," said Vince Drake, Titans coach who has been involved coaching boys and girls soccer, now for 45 years.

This is a game that could have gone either way. Burroughs freshman keeper Evie Ogelsby allowed just one goal in the game.

The other two teams in the round robin this week were St. Pius X of Festus and Barat Academy of West St. Louis County.

Monday, Patch will have complete coverage plus views from both the wining and losing coach.
