With the victory, Las Vegas (6-1) advanced to Sunday morning’s semifinals, where it will face top-seeded Brady’s Bunch at 9 a.m., PDT. Brady’s Bunch downed the eighth-seeded NorCal Eballers, 9-6, in another quarterfinal. Vegas will playing for a chance to make its first-ever Adrenaline tournament championship-game appearance.

Brady’s Bunch, the team formerly known as the Wild Card Starz, lost in the final of the 2009 Adrenaline Challenge and 2008 Adrenaline Shootout. It won the Adrenaline Challenge in Jan. 2008.

“They’re a great team, and they have some really good individual players,” Osip said. “But we think we’re the best team in the tournament.”

Sunday morning’s other semifinal will pit the second-seeded San Diego Tropics and the third-seeded Arizona Starz. The Tropics beat seventh-seeded San Diego RC Elite, 9-7, and Arizona topped sixth-seeded Marin Maximum, 6-4.

The Tropics are making their debut performance at an Adrenaline event. Arizona last reached an Adrenaline Shootout championship game in 2005, the year it beat Oregon to win the title.

In Saturday’s Vegas-LaxDawgs game, attackman Chris Forte added a goal and an assist, attackman Ryan Hanners scored once and middie Brandon Edgell had a goal to round out the scoring for Vegas, which won its sixth straight.

In defeat, attackman Eddie Vita scored a team-high three goals, attackman Matt O’Hara had a goal and two assists and attackman Dillon Bernad scored once for the LaxDawgs (6-2).

San Diego started strong, scoring the game’s first two goals in less than two minutes. But Vegas finished the half with a five-goal run to take a 5-2 halftime lead and never led by fewer than two goals throughout the second half of a penalty-filled game.

“We know how good we are, and we just played to our potential,” Osip said. “We didn’t come out ready. We kind of got knocked on the ground, but we got back up and did our thing.”
