Sundays Game - 5/17

Great game team. We totally should have won but the mix up with the time and the late goal by the Blue Fish caused us to end with a tie. Solid work up front for Bryan, Karie, Karl, and Will (when he wasn't defending). Speaking of defense we left those folks on islands a couple of times and they came through. Mike G., Greg, Will, Mara-Lisa, and Larissa really held down the back third of the field. When they couldn't get there goalie Mike was there. The mid field (the few folks that played there as it seemed to be a long ball game) held their own, Mike Little was a force in the middle and Jennie, Debra and super sub Katie supported on the wings.

After going into then half down 1 to nil, the 2nd half started with a flurry by the BOC (possibly due to the Orange slices provided by Liam). Brian had a great assist to Will to put us on the board and tie the game 1 -1. The sea of blue (as they were white today) continued to pressure the defense. Midway through the 2nd half, Karl shot one on goal that had enough behind it to power its way through the goalie's hands. Sadly many other opportunities were missed but there was good pressure and several shots on goal.

The last 4 minutes, opps I mean 15 minutes, the BOC was under pressure. We had changed our style based on the time given by the ref. This resulted in an offsides goal (yes it stands) by the other team.

So we looked like the Sounders this week, definitely the better team on the pitch (wait they played like crap, sorry about that comparison) but coming out with a draw. That puts us at 3 -3 -1 for the season with 3 games left.

No game next week due to the holiday weekend. Next game is against Azul the arch enemies so bring your game face.
