I really wish I had better news but it is not all bad. PG went down to King City today 2-0 in the varsity match. We started VERY slow and let in two goals early, while our guys were trying to settle into our new defense and overall structure. Having our captain and soul of the defense, Daniel, out injured with a twisted ankle doesn't help our structure in the back and senior striker, Jordan DeWitt out certainly hurts the offense. Co-captain, Callum Gilchrist did a fantastic job in an unfamiliar position, taking over for Daniel. We finally woke up in the 50th minute and started pressuring their goal with the majority of the possession and multiple shots on goal. The King City goalie stopped several shots, as did the posts... This brings me to the good news. The guys finished the game with heart and great play. I am still very proud that they didn't hang their heads and give up, they fought hard to the end. Too bad the goals didn't come in return. King City played a hard and clean game. JV fought back as well but were rewarded with a 4-1 win after being down 1-0 in the first few minutes. Good Job guys! |
