Westview Game Update - 2-16-2011

With a chance to clinch the Palomar League title we came out strong. Nick Custis got us going at the 4 minute mark when he ripped a shot from 25 yards out into the corner of the net to give us an early 1-0 lead. Westview was able to tie it up about 10 minutes before halftime when a throw in was re-directed over the head of our goalie, Zach McDonnell. That's the way the 1st half ended.

The 2nd half was mostly played on our half of the field, our defense saved two goals that were definately going into the net. The pressure Westview was applying finally paid off for them as they scored off another throw in with 18 minutes remaining. The rest of the game was all about Westview trying to clear the ball out of their zone as soon as they could. We were able to get a few scoring chances but were turned back everytime and the game ended in a 2-1 loss. Our 1st loss of the year. Zach McDonnell also suffered his 1st loss of the year after starting the season 15-0-3.

Westview is now tied with us for 1st place with Rancho Bernardo only 2 points behind. A win against Rancho Bernardo on Friday will still clinch us at least a share of the Palomar league title. This was our 1st game played without Sean Gallagher, our sweeper, since he was injured by a Ramona Player last game. Sean is doing much better and we hope his presence on the bench, along with peachy, will give us the extra motivation we need when we play Rancho Bernardo @ 7:00pm at R.B. Come on out and support us on our last regular season game.
