Four In A Row

On Saturday we had our most beautiful day of the spring, 60 degree weather, no wind, no rain it was lovely. We also got to see some pretty good soccer as well. In playing Moses Lake we ran into a team who plays very physical like we do so it was going to be interesting to see how we'd respond. The boys held their own, they didn't allow the Chiefs physical play to bother them and they stuck to the game plan well. The Jarad Brisbin-Jake Zoulek connection came through for the fourth game in a row as the Suns took a 1-0 lead into the half.

Southridge played well the whole game and were unlucky to not score a few more goals. Senior Captain Tanner Crass had a great game and had two beautiful shots with one saved out of the upper ninety of the goal, and the other striking the post which led to Bill Landefeld's second goal of the season. Branden Hale earned his third shut out in league and his fourth overall. He praised the defensive effort and felt most of his saves were routine as Phil Vorhies, Josh Mendoza, and Conner Cravens turned away several dangerous Moses Lake attacks.

So our team has won four games in a row, currently sit third in the table and face some important games coming up. Today we play Eastmont at 5:00 pm. We are looking for our first ever victory over the Wildcats, as well as some revenge over last years two shootout losses. After that we hit the road for games at Walla Walla on Thursday and Wenatchee on Saturday. Again this is a very important three game stretch, three victories will be tough but would put us exactly where we wanted to be when we set our goals for the season.
