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.
