Rancho Bernardo did what they couldn't do to us in the last two years, that was score a goal on us. The loss snapped a 4 game scoreless drought against Poway for R.B. They had not scored a regular season goal against us since 2009.
Poway dominated play the entire game by putting over 25 shots on goal vs 4 for R.B. The big break for R.B. came in the final 5 minutes of the game when an R.B. player got loose behind our defense and one timed it past our goalie. You can't say we didn't have our chances and none was better than a point blank shot by Tony Kirouac in the final seconds of the 1st half. You have to give the freshman goalie for R.B. all the credit, he stepped up time and time again to make the big save.
The loss snaps a 7 game winning streak. Our next game is Tuesday @ Westview against a tough Wolverine team. Game time is 5:00pm

Things started a little differently against Ramona as the Bulldogs jumped out to the early lead on a goal in the 1st 3 minutes. It didn't take Poway very long to tie things up.

Tony Kirouac's one touch blast into the upper right hand corner of the net in the 82 minute gave Poway the breathing room they needed. Drake Berdan finished off the scoring off a great individual effort by freshman Kellen Gallagher.

Torrey controlled the early part of the game until Eric Budniewski sent a nice pass down the left side to Fredy Cedillo, who took advantage of his one on one with the goaltender and put it away to give Poway the 1-0 lead at the 17' mark. Torrey got the equalizer just before half on a nice deflection of a throw in to tie it up at half.
The game was very even in the 2nd half until Chris Kusunoki sent a 50 yard free kick into the box that the goalie deflected into the air. Bryce Flores then showed off his jumping skills by towering over a Torrey defender and putting it into the back of the net at the 72' mark. Tony Kirouac made the final score 3-1 with a chip shot over the goalie in the final minutes to make the final score 3-1.
The win was Poway's 6th in a row and 2nd straight over a top 50 National program. They raised their record to 11-2-4.

Poway knocks off the #2 ranked team in the country- San Pasqual 1-12-12
Poway won their 4th straight game by defeating San Pasqual 1-0. San Pasqual came into the game undefeated at 10-0 and were rated # 2 in the Country and
# 1 in the State by Max Preps.
The 1st half was mostly controlled by San Pasqual as they elected to control the ball, move it around and look for the open shot. Each time they got close to the net the Poway defense was able to turn them away.
The 2nd half was much more even with lots of action from both teams. Poway was able to get on the board in the 1st 4 minutes when Sasha Peranteau sent a long ball down the right side which Eric Budniewski was able to catch up to and "one-time" it into the corner of the net. The goal set off a celebration on the Poway sideline. The problem was there were still 36 minutes to play.
Both teams had many good scoring chances. The San Pasqual goalie made a terrific diving save off a header by Sophmore Sasha Peranteau and minutes later he was able to deflect a shot by Drake Berdan off the line. Philip Bru came through with some clutch saves down the stretch and his defense played awesome. Each time San Pasqual got close to our goal, Sean Gallagher was able to clear the ball away. Carlos Rodriguez kept San Pasqual off the board in the 2nd half when he was able to clear away a ball off the line that was heading for the back of the net. Philip Bru and our defense were able to clear away the remaining chances that S.P. had and when the final whistle sounded the Poway side was able to celebrate.
Our defense has only allowed 1 goal in the past 4 games. Playing strong games were Sean Gallagher, Ben Faller, Andrew Savitt and Chris Kusunoki. Returning from injury to help in the victory was Ernie Reyes. Sasha Peranteau, Drake Berdan, Fredy Cedillo, Carlos Rodriguez, Connor Sabourin, Bryce Flores and Eric Budniewski also contributed to the team victory.

Poway @ Carlsbad - 1-06-2012
We traveled to Carlsbad and came away with a 2-0 non-league win. Both goals came in the 1st half. Chris Kusunoki sent a long pass to Eric Budniewski on the right side.

Canyon Crest @ Poway - 1-04-2011
It looked like both teams were fighting through the long holiday layoff in the 1st half. There weren't to many scoring opportunities available to either team. That all changed in the 2nd half. What a difference a halftime speech can do. Coach Morris elected to make a few position and personnel changes in the 2nd half and it didn't take very long for the changes to make an impact.
Eric Budniewski took a pass from Bryce Flores @ his own end of the field, raced 70 yards down the right sideline, put a move on two defenders and then put a nice left footed shot into the net to give Poway a 1-0 lead 2 minutes into the 2nd half. It only took two more minutes to increase the lead to 2-0. Sasha Peranteau made a nice cross from the left side over to Eric Budniewski. Eric took a few steps and buried a shot into the left corner to make it 2-0. Both sides had numerous scoring opportunities after that. Included in Philip Bru's 9 saves was a break-a-way stop on the Canyon Crest forward. Our defense was lead by Sean Gallagher, Ben Faller, Andrew Savitt and Chris Kusunoki.

In a very well played game the two teams finished up at 1-1. Poway got on the board 1st just 5 minutes into the 2nd half when Freddy Cedillo sent a cross into the box to Tony Kirouac. Tony turned and sent it into the corner of the net. Hilltop kept the pressure on and finaly tied it up with 11 minutes to go. Hilltop kept up the pressure but Philip Bru made some great saves down the stretch to keep the game tied. Philip also stopped a penalty kick in the 1st half. Ufortunately for us, Eric Budniewski was taken down in the box very hard and will miss the North County Tournament with a mild seperation of the shoulder.
