Mt. Carmel Game Update 1-19-2011

We jumped out to a 4-0 halftime lead and put it in cruise control from there. Evan Myers got us off to a quick 2-0 lead with two goals on assists from Eric Budniewski. Adding to the goal total was Darien Naraghi (two goals), Luke Flud and Eric Budniewski. Zach Lentz finished the scoring with his 1st goal of the season on a brilliant header in the 2nd half. Eric Budniewski finished with a team high 4 assists. Also adding assists were Ben Faller, Alejandro Berry and Eric Thimes.

Our defense pitched their 9th shut-out of the season. Zach McDonnell and Philip Bru each played a half. The defense doesn't usually get in the stat box but they keep a lot of the teams off the scoreboard. Our defense is led by sweeper Sean Gallagher, stopper Ben Faller and defenders Nick Custis and freshman Ernie Reyes. Next up is a tough road game against Torrey Pines.

The win was our 16th in a row and pushes our overall record to 17-0-1 and 1-0 in league play. We are now ranked # 5 in the ESPN Rise Powerade 50 rankings for high school winter teams.
