Following their loss to the Florida Tropics on Thursday, the Orlando SeaWolves traveled up to Maryland, falling to the Baltimore Blast 14-5 on Saturday.
The SeaWolves fell into an early hole, down 5-0 in the first quarter, a hole they could not climb out of. Orlando played better in the second half, but it was not enough to build a comeback.
Braces from Eduardo Cruz and Mario Alvarez, plus a goal by Odaine Sinclair was the offense for the SeaWolves, but five goals from Vinny Dantas with eight other players scoring for the Blast was the difference.
The SeaWolves were outshot 32-27 in the game.
Orlando will play their next game in Lakeland against the Florida Tropics. That game is set for Saturday, Dec. 14, at 5:05 p.m.
SeaWolves trade Hugo Puentes to Monterrey
The Orlando SeaWolves have traded midfielder Hugo Puentes to the Monterrey Flash for cash considerations.
Per team and league policies, no further details were disclosed.
“At this time, out of respect to Hugo and his family, we felt it best to give him an opportunity to play elsewhere,” SeaWolves Head Coach Chris Kokalis said, “We wish him all the best with Monterrey.”
SeaWolves re-sign
defender Derek
Huffman
The Orlando SeaWolves have re-signed defender/ attacker Derek Huffman.
The 31-year-old defender has played 49 games in MASL and has scored 24 goals and 16 assists.
Per team and league policies, terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
To make room for Huffman on the SeaWolves 26 player roster, Miguel Shepherd was released. Huffman will missed the Dec. 5 game against Florida due to a suspension carried over from last season, but he was available for selection at Saturday’s game in Baltimore.
Huffman signed late last season with Orlando, playing in 10 games and scoring seven goals and adding three assists.
“Derek has proven himself as a versatile player in this league,” SeaWolves General Manager Chris Kokalis said. “He has the ability to shut down several of the league’s top target forwards and play as a target up top himself. We’re happy to have him back with us.”
