Bulls reach championship match

The Honolulu Soccer Club Bulls '85 Under-19 boys advanced to tomorrow's championship match at the United States Youth Soccer National Championships yesterday with a 3-0 victory over Scott Gallagher (Mo.) at the Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

Scott Gallagher had won this tournament seven times in the past.

Satoshi Mitsuda (Punahou, Boston College freshman) put the Bulls ahead with a goal in the 14th minute. Justin Kim (Mililani) scored his first goal of the tournament in the 25th minute and Duke Hashimoto (Iolani, Southern Methodist sophomore) completed the scoring with his second tourney goal in the 59th minute.

Richard Higa, a Mid-Pacific graduate who was a Big East freshman first-team selection last fall at Massachusetts, assisted on the first two goals. David Gualdarama (Kamehameha, New Mexico freshman) assisted on the third goal.

"Our defense led by goalkeeper David Semenza (Punahou, Brown sophomore) and Stephen Carlson (Punahou, Loyola Marymount freshman) has been incredible," said coach Phil Neddo.

The Bulls play '84 CASL Elite (N.C.), a 2-0 winner over the Baltimore Bays yesterday, in the title match that starts at 2:15 a.m. Hawaii time. CASL handed the Bulls their only loss, 1-0 Thursday.
