We played a great game today, especially in the second half.  Unfortunately, it was hard to overcome the 3-0 deficit at halftime.  Both teams played a solid defensive game.  We lost 4-2 in a very good game with a good team.  We were saddened to hear that Joey was injured before the game in a cross country meet.  Everyone pulled together to make up for his absence.  Joey did come to the game to cheer our team on.  Yash scored our two goals today.  His second goal resulted in him getting hurt, but he shook it off and kept played.. Kyle did very well on offense and midfield.  His ball handling is improving and he made some great passes .  Austin played offense, defense and midfield today.  He did a great job protecting our goal.  Brian was awesome today.  He had some great defensive stops, he passed well and was credited with TWO assists.  Robert played offense, defense and midfield.  He was great in every position today.  He was also credited with an assist.  Paul showed a lot of depth in midfield and defense today.  He attacked the ball well and made some great passes.  Craig made some excellent plays on defense today.  He stopped nearly every attack and passed the ball to the offense.  Evan played an excellent defensive game today with some great stops and passes.   Mark was solid in goal in the first half, and then played offense and defense in the second half.  He did a great job stopping attacks, passing the ball well and clearing our zone.   Adi played his first game as goal keeper and did a fantastic job.  He also played great on offense, defense and midfield.  Nicholas played a very aggressive game, stopping many attacks and drawing two fouls.
