Roscoe beats ELG to win Palm
Restaurant Invitational

By Alex Webbe

Roscoe (Jocelyn Grouix, Robin Sanchez, Hector Galindo and Kris Kampsen) scored
an 8-7 win over ELG/Ruby Q (Brian Street, Diego Cossio, Sugar Erskine and Avery
Chapman) in the finals of the Palm Restaurant Invitational Wednesday morning at the
Palm City Polo Club in Boca Raton.

Both teams’ offenses were a bit tenuous in opening chukker play with neither team
being able to break through for a score.

Second chukker activity had Avery Chapman and Sugar Erskine score goals from the
field while Roscoe team captain Jocelyn Grouix scored on a penalty goal and teammate
Kris Kampsen added a goal for the 2-2 tie.

Erskine put ELG up, 3-2, early in the third period, but roscoe fought. Hector Galindo
scored his first goal of the game to make it all even, 3-3, to end the first half of play.

Roscoe broke it wide open in the fourth with Grouix scoring three goals. Kampsen
added a goal for a 7-4 Roscoe lead. ELG garnered a single goal from Diego Cossio.

ELG got it back on track in the fifth period. Goals from Brian Street and Chapman went
unanswered. ELG had cut the Roscoe lead to a single goal, 7-6.

Kampsen converted a penalty shot in the sixth chukker to move Roscoe in front, 8-6.
Chapman scored a goal for ELG but that would be where it ended. Roscoe would hold
on to win the 2012 Palm Restaurant Invitational, 8-7.

Grouix led all scoring on the day with four goals. Kampsen scored three times and
Galindo added a goal in the win.

Chapman led the ELG team with three goals. Erskine scored twice, while making three
brilliant goalmouth saves for the ELG defense. Cossio and Street each added a goal in
a losing effort.
