Ramona Game Update 2-11-2011

The boys came to play. Eric Budniewski got us started at the 16 minute mark when he took a Nick Custis pass and ripped it into the back of the net for a 1-0 lead. Evan Meyer pushed the lead to 2-0 when he re-directed a cross from Eric Budniewski into the back of the net. After halftime we were able to pour it on....Evan Myers picked up his 2nd goal of the game on a pass from Nick Custis. Six minutes later Eric Budniewski scored his 17th goal of the season on a great long pass from Kevin Meyer. Evan Myers completed his hat trick by putting away his league leading 25th goal of the season. Heber Torres finished the scoring on a pass from Alejandro Berry.

The game was stopped at the 22 minute mark of the 2nd half when a Ramona player decided he had enough of our defense and went after our sweeper, Sean Gallagher. The Ramona player threw more than one punch to Sean's face. Sean ended up going to the hospital and then to the oral surgeon where he had surgery to repair 3 fractures to his upper jaw line and re-align his teeth. In addition to that he had stitches to his chin and inside his mouth....Unfortunately, it looks like our # 1 defender is done for the year. We all are hoping for a quick and successful return. Our thoughts are with him. The Ramona player was given a Red Card and hopefully will not play another high school soccer game.

Our next game will be Wednesday when we travel west on the 56 to take on Westview with a chance to clinch the Palomar League title. Game time is 5:00pm.
