Poway finishes strong in win @ Westview - 1-31-12

In a tightly fought contest Poway was able to come back from a 1-0 halftime deficit. The 1st half was very even and Westview got on the board when Ryan Camera's header found the back of the net. Westview kept up the pressure but the half ended with Westview holding on to the 1-0 lead.

Coach Gene Morris made some key personnel moves in the 2nd half. He moved sweeper Sean Gallagher up to forward and the move paid off. Sean converted his own rebound past the Westview goalie to tie things up. Five minutes later, Eric Budniewski sent a long cross to the side of the box that Ben Faller was able to head into the goal to give Poway the 2-1 lead.

Poway was able to hold off Westview the rest of the way for the 2-1 lead. There were some anxious moments, especially with 2 minutes left in the game. The Wolverines had a free kick that bounced around and was heading into the net, but Chris Kusunoki was able to clear off the line moments before it was going into the goal.

Goalie Philip Bru turned back 15 shots in the win and raised his record to 12-3-4.
