Goleros are finalists and runners-up (again!)
Another awesome tournament. This November, we played in the Fallfest tournament in Columbia, MD. We played extremely well - another outstanding outing by the team.
We advanced through a crowded division of 5 teams, taking first and advancing clear on our win/loss record. We were 3-0 versus some decent teams.
Game 1 (versus Infrared) - 1-0 on goal by Jon (awesome over-the-top assist by Aly).
Game 2 (versus Stragglers) - 2-0 win on goals by Anna and Chris. Both goals were outstanding. Anna's came on a cross, where she lunged forward to put it in the net. Chris' was the longest ever breakaway. He received the ball before the half line and ran the entire distance to the keeper and put it past him.
Game 3 (versus Red Menace) - 3-0 win (2 goals by Adrian, 1 by Jon)
Semi final (versus Soccer Bums) 2-1 win on goal by Mark (assist by Jer), game-winning goal by Jer as time expired (incredible bending assist to the chest by Mark - the goal of the tournament!). The other goal was by???
Final (versus XXX?) 0-1
Ah the memories. We all turned in outstanding play. The defense was solid, playing in a 3-man formation for most of the tournament. 2 goals against in a 3-man formation? Yeah, we have a strong defense, led by our keeper of course who rarely gets tested but always rises to the occassion.
There were several notable goals and assists - you remember them. The Aly-Jon combo to get things started, Anna's lunging goal, Chris' breakaway, and let us not forget one of the all-time great Goleros goals - the Mark-Jer combo as time expired in the semi-final. That one I won't soon forget.
