Bamberg All-European Collins Wonzina opened his season by scoring 10 goals in two games as the Barons overwhelmed Alconbury 9-3 on Friday and Menwith Hill 8-1 on Saturday.

Wonzina, a senior who averaged two goals per game last season, scored five in each victory and gave the impression, at least, that he could have tallied a few more.

According to Bamberg coach Wade Krauchi, Wonzina came off the bench to score Bamberg’s first four goals in Friday’s game, then tallied all five in the first half of Saturday’s game.

“He has to be the most outstanding player in Europe,” Krauchi said.

Wonzina’s outbursts overshadowed what ordinarily would have been spotlight-grabbing efforts by his teammates. Alex Hodge scored twice in each game and had three assists on Saturday. All-Europe second-team sweeper Christian Peel, also a senior who came of the bench against Alconbury, posted two assists on Friday and led the defense both days.

Both games were nonconference. The Barons open their Division III-South season when they host Ansbach on April 16.

In other boys games of note:

Aviano edges Naples: At Naples, Italy, Mike Legree fed the ball to Junior Valez for a second-half game-winner as Aviano beat Naples 1-0 and improved its American Schools in Italy League record to 3-0 going into a Thursday home game against perennial power Milan.

“It was a nice physical game,” Aviano coach Steve Stanley said. “We had a lot of good midfield play which kept them from scoring.”

Naples fell to 0-2 on the season and hosts the American Overseas School of Rome on Thursday.

Lancers blank Würzburg: At RAF Lakenheath, England, Bandan Payne registered a goal and an assist as the Lancers downed Würzburg 3-0 in the D-I opener for both teams.

Lakenheath (2-0 overall, 1-0 in D-I), dominated play, according to coach Garrett Billington, peppering Würzburg goalkeeper Patrick Brown with “uncountable shots on goal.”

“He played a great game,” Billington said of Brown, who officially was credited with 10 saves in Würzburg’s season opener.

Hohenfels downs III-North pair: At Hohenfels, Germany, Darren Hawkins banged home a penalty kick with no time left Saturday to give the Tigers a 2-1 victory over the visiting Alconbury Dragons.

It was Hawkins’ second goal of the game and allowed Hohenfels, which outgunned Menwith Hill 6-0 on Friday behind two goals each from Hawkins and Anthony Marshall, to improve its season mark to 2-0.

Hohenfels opens its III-South season Thursday at Ansbach.

Giessen, Brussels tie: At Giessen, Germany, Brussels held Giessen scoring ace Kevin Breisch to a single goal Friday and tied their hosts 1-1.

Briesch converted a first-half pass from Daniel Newport for the opening goal, and Mike Hebing scored the equalizer just before halftime.

Giessen keeper Chris La Van made 20 saves on the day.
