Game 2 - 9/18/05

Home Up

Game 2 was a great game!  We won 7-4 against the Huron Valley Soccer Club. After a slow first half and losing 3-2 at halftime, we had a great comeback which exemplified strong defense and really aggressive offense Adi played a phenomenal game!  After a great first half on defense, stopping many attacks, he nailed a perfect goal from 40 feet outside the goal drilling the ball deep into the net.  He was very upset about accidentally scoring on us with a reverse kick.  He was determined to take that goal back.  Congratulations Adi!!  Evan made several goal scoring saves on defense  He was perfect today.  Nicholas was very aggressive with some great passes, steals and an assist. Brian played a very aggressive game, setting up many scoring opportunities.  He was also credited with an assist.  Robert played a good game as goal keeper and an awesome job on defense and midfield in the second half.  Robert and  Adi successfully executed the "cannon" play several times with backwards passes and booming kicks.  Great teamwork guys!  Paul played a great game on defense and midfield, making some great passes to the offense.  Kyle was great today.  He keeps getting better and better.  He had his first assist today.  Craig was tough in defense.  He protected our backfield very well..  Mark did a superb job in goal and on mid field.  He was awesome covering midfield and in goal.  Yash scored FOUR goals today.  Great job Yash!!.  He also had many close calls with several great shots on goal.  Joey was awesome on offense, setting up many scoring opportunities with an assist and TWO goals.  He kept the offensive attack going all game. 

Good game Lasers!
