Game 3 - 1/19/2005

Home Up

Ouch!  We were soundly beaten 12-3 in Game 3.  We learned some tough lessons on coverage in defense, spreading out the offense and staying near the goal looking for rebounds and other scoring opportunities.   Daniel scored two goals and had an assist on another.  Yash scored a goal as well.  James had two assists.  Matt played a great first half in goal.  James was very strong in goal in the second half, facing relentless attacks again and again.   Benedict helped the defense and provided a very solid offensive attack.  Nicholas passed the ball and worked to help set up scoring opportunities.  Erik was great on defense and offense, playing a very aggressive game with a lot of hustle.  Kristopher gets better each week showing some solid ball handling skills and passing. Nate continues to show improvement with great playing this week.  He took a direct kick in the head, brushed it off and kept going!  It's ok to duck Nate!  Christopher played a solid game with some good passing and ball handling.  Nathan really played a solid game of defense and helped set up several scoring opportunities.  Austin played some good "heads up" defense, helping the goal keeper when the goal wasn't covered.  Paul did a great job on defense stopping several attacks.  Craig was great helping our defense and did a good job on offense too!  Brian played a very strong game on defense with some very good stops against an aggressive team.   Tony was very solid on defense with some clutch plays in front of our goal.  Mark was awesome clearing the ball on defense and setting up scoring opportunities.
