Gateway Classic: Game 1

Game 9: At Lou Fusz vs. Eureka (0-0 2 OT, falling on 8th PK kicker)

Well, we fell for the first time all year, giving up no goals. Wow. 

We were just ok in the first half offensively but our defense anchored by Aubrey Evans played so well the entire match. (It's no wonder BWhite named Aubrey Player of the Match; he was special). 

Second half we exploded offensively as well. I did think Eureka's keeper was special. How he saved Curt's shot near the end of regulation I will never know. And Curt lasered another shot in OT that Gaspo followed, then Diggs followed, and he saved all 3. That's quite a performance.

They got off 1 shot the entire second half, no corners. We had 16 shots in the second half alone. My. 

Well—let's get the next two. 

We are 5-1-3.
