Maremoto 5 - 7 The Crazy 88

Maremoto took on one of the best teams in the league last night and played strong all night long. The first half was dominated by Michael in offense scoring the first two goals. First, he dribbled across the field and had a beautiful shot on the wall. He also picked up the ball in the air, reversed, and passed the defender to shoot another one on the wall. Keeper Burak fought off numerous shots to hold The Crazy 88 to only 3 goals in the 1st half.

The second half didn’t start out as well with The Crazy 88 scoring 4 more goals in the beginning of the second half. Although Lauren, Marie, and Diego had opportunities, the goal seemed cursed and didn't allow any in. The Crazy 88 was leading 7-2, when Yong subbed in and was fired up! Yong scored a goal from the far right side minutes after he stepped on the field. Michael followed with two more goals, while Vivian and Sarah held the defense not allowing The Crazy 88 to score any goals during the last 10 minutes of the game.

Goal and player of the game: Yong’s long shot from far right field…wish we could have got that one on video!

  1. If there is one thing I have learned the last few years, it is do NOT make Yong angry.
