JV Tourney results

The record book will show a loss and a tie as results from the JV NLC Invitational. The first game was lost 2-3 to Memorial. Tony Lopez scores 2 goals. In the second game NW faces Northridge. After a productive first half (another two Tony Lopez goals), Northridge comes back with a goal in the second half and deep into the game, the arbiter whistles Dylan for grabbing an opponent's jersey (foul looked to be taking place outside the box) but Mr. Deed's butler points to the 12. The penalty goes in and the 2-2 is a fact. We go to a pk shoot out and despite missing our first pk, we are still tied after the first round of 5 alternating pk's. In the second round, Northridge scores their first effort and unfortunately, Brock is not as lucky as his shot is stopped by the NR keeper. It was nice to see a (almost) full JV squad -only Antonio was MIA- and nice fan turn out as well on a absolutely gorgeous late summer day. Some nice performances were turned in by numerous players. Of course we already mentioned Tony's four (!) goals but his fourth came off a perfect free kick by Dylan. That free kick hit the cross bar and fell right in front of Tony (right time/right place). The other Weldy (Josh) had a good day on defense as did Mason. After experiencing a few first game/first half defensive jitters, the next three halves were better after some adjustments. It was nice to have three subs so players could catch their breath occasionally. All 14 players did well and it would have been nice if the results would have been a little bit better. Tomorrow (Monday), the JV travels to Penn. Josh and Tony need to check in with Coach Duerksen to find out with what team they need to play. Whoever goes with JV, still needs to join the Varsity when they return from Penn. This also goes for Micah. More on TWINS tomorrow.
