Overtime

We travelled to Shenandoah on 9/11 to play the Hornets. We conceded the first goal and found ourselves down 1-0 at the half. The second half started with the same back and forth tempo of the first and in the 22nd minute Mike Pistorio got good penetration through their defense and laid a ball off to Michael Bistany who chipped the keeper and leveled the game at 1 goal a piece. Shenandoah fought back and managed to score again putting us down 1-2. The end of regulation saw many of the Bobcat attacks thwarted by the Hornet defense and keeper. However, with 30 seconds left in regulation Brian Davis got down to the end line and laid a ball back for Ricky Marchant and the senior sent the game into overtime. Just 2 minutes into overtime it was Brian Davis who would score the golden goal and give us the victory. Again we were disappointed to concede early goals but proud of the way we responded and kept playing hard the whole game. It wasn't the prettiest of wins but any time we can go on the road and come home with a victory we'll take it.
