They entered the Valley View Casino Center sports arena floor on Nov. 23 as Toros de Mexico but became sacrificial lambs against the San Diego Sockers, who ended up posting the all-time record sports consecutive win streak at 41. With swift matador finesse, the Soccers taunted and dispatched the Bulls amid loud approval. Final score: 14-4. If the Sockers\u2019 dominance continues to be a season-long trend, they could push the record beyond anyone\u2019s approach and be placed in perpetuity. Even the local media gave the team attention it deserves,\u00a0and because of it, long lines of the curious formed at the ticket windows. The remarkable soccer team has surpassed other notable win streaks in history in various sports: the Sioux Falls Storm\u2019s\u00a0previous record of 40 consecutive United Indoor Football victories between 2005-08, the Los Angeles Lakers\u2019 33 straight wins, the Washington Kastles\u2019 31 consecutive victories and the Salt Lake Trappers\u2019 29 wins in a row.\u00a0 To witness the frenzied support for each goal scored brought back a bygone arena era when the Sockers shared space with the talented minor league San Diego Gulls hockey team \u2014 a time when 9,000 spectators would jam\u00a0the place. That was big sports news in the 1970s. Fittingly, Juli Veee, a Hall of Fame Sockers player of the past, was called upon to handle the ceremonial kickoff. The young season has been a one-sided operation for the home team thus far. In four games, the Sockers have\u00a0outscored the opposition, 58-14, encountering little resistance to their continued attack, whether it\u2019s because they are just that superior or just that the league opponents lack sufficient manpower. If it could be listed as one disappointment, the career-high eight goals scored against the Bulls by Kraig Chiles fell one short of tying the all-time record. Chiles netted a hat trick by halftime and he scored four goals in the fourth quarter, finishing with a league-leading 19 goals in four games. \u00a0 \u00a0 Eduardo Velez added a hat trick with an assist as the Sockers jumped out to a 8-0 lead before conceding their first goal. The outcome was a forgone conclusion by halftime with a 6-0 margin.\u00a0 With so much of an early lead, even the announcer had\u00a0to goad the crowd to keep up the enthusiasm. The Toros\u00a0managed to put some points on the board in the second half, but goalkeepers Riley Swift and Chris Toth were too tough to get past. The Sockers play next in Tacoma on Dec. 1 against the Stars.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
