We hosted St. Charles Commuity College this afternoon at 2:00. This was our first look at St. Charles. I knew very little about them before the match, except for their record. I had a hunch that it would be a pretty even match, and I was right.
We started the match like we have started most of our games this year, that is we scored first. Jared White laid off a text book cross in the box and Thad Snell was there to clean up. St. Charles looked a bit down, but they responded with an unlikely goal five minutes later. 1-1
After a foul just outside the box was awarded us, Thad Snell takes the free kick and messes their net up with a rocket shot that went through the wall and past the Keeper before he knew what was up. We're up 2-1 and feeling pretty good. But ten minutes later they take the ball down the right, cross it in with a diagonal pass and tie it up 2-2. That's the way the half came to a close.
In the second half one of our boys gets his second yellow (I'm not going there to talk about the call) and we have to play the rest of the half down one man. That worked to St. Charles' advantage. They scored in the 70th minute and we failed on several opportunitites to capitalize. 7-7-1 is not where we wanted to be at the end of this week, but that's the way the ball bounced for us.
We're taking a trip to Mississippi next week to play Southwest Mississippi Co.Co.and Pearl River Co. Co. We get back on Friday, go to Peoria on Saturday and wrap up our season on the 19th in St. Louis against Forrest Park Co. Co.
