Game 2: Nevada vs Cyclones (7-2)

Today, we left the hotel at 10:15 for our noon game against Nevada.  The Nevada team is made up primarily of players from Mexican descent, short in stature with husky builds.  The Cyclones played a much better, harder game than the first which is not indicative by the score.

We were down by 4 goals when we were awarded a penalty kick for a Nevada handball inside the box.  David took the PK and put it cleanly in the back of the net.  Preston had an awesome 2nd half, aggressively dribbled his way inside the box to score just shortly after our PK goal.

Needless to say, the game was an aggressive one with 4 yellow cards being given (1 to Nevada and 3 to Cyclones).  The Nevada team was able to finish the game by scoring 3 more goals from their solid left forward with a pretty good left foot.

After the game - the boys were interviewed for additional footage that the parents had arranged with the videographer for the tournament.  We arranged for a professional videographer to tape our 2nd game and provide commentary throughout and player, coaches and parent post-game interviews.

The boys played a hard fought game today and we are glad to have put two goals away.  Tomorrow will be our final game in the tournament - we face Oregon and are hoping to pull out a win.  Let's go, Cyclones!  Let's finish strong!
