Everglades Classic

By Alex Webbe

Medium goal competition continued in the 2012 16-goal Everglades Classic Wednesday
afternoon with Faraway notching an 11-8 win over previously unbeaten Mt. Brilliant at
the International Polo Club in Wellington.

First chukker goals from Costi Caset and Sugar Erskine combined with shutout defense
put Mt. Brilliant ahead, 2-0 in the early goings.

Second chukker action had Faraway getting a pair of goals from Mike Azzaro (one
from the field and one on a penalty conversion) ad a goal from the field from Julian
Daniels. Mt. Brilliant responded with a single penalty goal from Caset and the game
was deadlocked at 3-3.

Erskine scored once from the field for Mt. Brilliant but goals from Mason Wroe and
Azzaro had Faraway leading 5-4 at the end of the first half.

Faraway looked like a new team in the fourth chukker, scoring five unanswered goals.
Wroe converted two penalty shots for goals and added another goal from the field.
Azzaro scored a goal from the field while Daniels scored on a penalty goal. At the end
of the period Faraway led by six goals, 10-4.

Mt. Brilliant picked up fifth chukker penalty goals from Chris Nevins and Erskine while
Faraway seemed content to guard their lead. After five periods of play, Faraway was
still on top of a 10-6 score.

Azzaro scored his fifth goal of the day in the final chukker while Mt. Brilliant team
captain, Bo Goodman, scored twice in the 11-8 Faraway victory.

Azzaro led the field in scoring with five goals (one by penalty). Wroe registered four
goals and Daniels added two goals in the win.

Erskine led the Mt. Brilliant offense with three goals. Caset and Goodman scored two
goals each and Nevins added one goal.
