Torrey Pines Game Update 2-09-2011

This game looked like a repeat of our last game with Torrey Pines..Very physical, lots of yellow cards, some red cards (for them) and the most important stat of all...the final score...2-1 Us....

We started fast as Eric Budniewski took a nice pass from Luke Flud and left footed the ball into the corner of the net just past the outstretched hands of the goalie for his 15th goal of the season just 5 minutes into the game...Torrey was able to tie it up at the 19 minute mark when they headed a ball into the net off a free kick...It stayed that way until halftime.

Coach Gene Morris, as he has done on numerous occasions was able to deliver his terrific halftime pep talk. The boys seemed to respond and after several close calls we were able to take the lead for good when Kevin Meyers took a hard shot from 25 yards out that looked like it was heading into the coner of the net but the Torrey Pines goalie came out of nowhere to make a tremendous save but Evan Myers was in great position to knock home the rebound for his 22nd goal of the year 10 minutes into the 2nd half.

The defense, led by Sean Gallagher, Ben Faller, Zach Lentz, Nick Custis, Ernie Reyes and our goalie Zach McDonnell were able to make it stand up....Also playing solid for Poway in the win were Darien Naraghi, Alejandro Berry, Heber Torres and Sean Murray. The win gave us the season sweep of Torrey, pushed our record to 21-0-3 and stretched our unbeaten streak to 24 games....In both of our games against Torrey Pines this year Eric Budniweski and Evan Myers were the goal scorers and Luke Flud along with Kevin Meyer were the players with assists. We also held the high scoring Falcons to one goal in each game......Our last regular season game at home will be against Ramona on Friday @ 5:00pm. Come on out and support the team on Senior Night.....
