Saints Travel to SwiDAC

Game 4 (3-1-0)
14 September vs. BV North at SwiDAC at 2:30 (4-1)

We jumped on the board quickly and often in the first half. We scored once more than we had scored for the entire season. Well done.

Make sure you watch the video on 3 of those goals: Parker, Drew, and Jack all strike a nice ball.






We were able to rest Drew, Luke, and Shae second half—two are pretty banged up, and we just needed to get Carter some meaningful time.  He did make one heck of a save towards the end of the match. North did score late on a long deadball, but the one guy, Souder, who we always needed to account for on set pieces roamed free. He and Carter did meet at the top in a huge collision. Both will need some Advil tonight.

BWhite went back to the well to award Gabe Kraft his second BWhite Player of the Match. He just wins so many balls in the back, and he keeps so many balls alive in all of our set-pieces. 

Unlike our other matches this season, the Mustangs did get quite a few shots off in the match. Now, most of those shots did come in the second half. North fired 11 times, with seven shots on goal. 

For the second straight match, we only rang up two corners for the entire game. Our first two matches of the year had us creating 9 corners both matches.  So we need to turn that around a bit.

BTW: after 4 matches, our keeper, Shae Wirt, is tied for the team lead in assists. And it's his second straight game-winning assist.

We play, yet another, EKL match this coming Tuesday against Mill Valley. It will be our last league match-up against them as they head for the Sunflower League next season.
