The Wesley Chapel U-11 Flames traveled to the Oldsmar Outlaws and dominated with a 5-0 win. The Flames were able to score three goals in the first 10 minutes.

Bronson Strampel scored on a pass from Grant Tinberg, Connar Lufkin got a second chance goal on a rebound by the Outlaws goalie and Tyler Palmer scored on an assist from Strampel.

Felix Oliva broke free for a late goal to push the lead to 4-0 at the half.

In the second half, Zeke Hall, Martin Ozores and Eric Pitton all stepped up on midfield to limit Oldsmar's scoring chances. Strampel scored his second goal on a pass from Oliva. J.T. Spana relieved starting goalie Austin Moore, who played 15 minutes at fullback and helped preserve the 5-0 shutout.
