Maremoto FC 6 - 3 Point Break

This week Maremoto was scheduled to play the rivalry game against the Point Break, and the game definitely lived up to the hype! The veteran Vasily scored the first goal of the game, soon to be equalized by Point Break. Our midfield star Andrea pushed in and score the second goal, which was equalized again by Point Break. After last week's silence, leading scorer Michael showed up in the final minutes of the first half to retake the lead, 3-2. The first half stars were defenders Chris, Vivian and Marie.

The second half started with the deja-vu and Vasily opened up the lead to 4-2, providing a big relief. Most of the second half was about hustle. While Vivian and Sam kept the defense, Kelly, Chris, Vasily, Yong and Andrea controlled the midfield. Late in the game, when the entire Maremoto was attacking, Point Break scored on a counter attack to get back into the game. However, Chris put the game away and Michael's goal was the last nail in the coffin.

Player of the game: Kelly was efficient with sheilding the ball and she was a commander, feeding nice passes to the team...unselfishly setting up balls for the Maremoto offense.

Lessons learned: The third Point Break goal was a Maremoto offensive mistake. There have to be two defenders at all times behind the midfield and no need for the whole midfield and offense to be that close to the opposing goal line.
