Injury Update

Season over? ST Navarro is out 5 weeks with a broken cheekbone. DL Bergmann is out 4-5 weeks with a training injury. DR Fausto Diaz is out 4-5 weeks with an injury picked up in our U18 match. DC Garry Garcia is out 4-5 weeks with an injury picked up in the same U18 match.

Navarro's has huge implications here. Our top three ST's are now hurt. Its not like last year where there is zero depth. We still have Pace and Reynoso, and we have youth pull Ben Goodwin, though his match fitness is in the tank.

August 28th, 2015

Wake Forest Cougars (9-3-5, 3rd) vs Kentucky Colonels (9-2-5, 4th)

Attendence: 273

We're 1-0-1 lifetime against Kentucky. We beat them very recently 4-2, that game kicked off our little resurgance in league play here.

Starting Lineup

GK: Gyan
D: Campbell/Pickering/Forrest/Jackson
DM: Villa
M: Tapia/Shakespeare
AM: Davidson/Cooper
ST: Pace

Pace in at ST.

24': Long highlight here, starts with them winning a ball, they build up possession for some time, but finally, Jackson wins it for us with a sliding tackle, Forrest launches the clearance over everyone, Cooper runs it down and has it in the right corner for us, he finds a cross, Shakespeare heads it... deflected, Davidson is there, and scores! 1-0

HALF: That was the only highlight of the half. We have 2 shots, they have none.

46': We rush forward after kickoff, Cooper with a cross, but they head it out. Shakespeare recovers, but loses possession.

51': After some midfield possession, Shakespeare sends it ahead to Pace, he ends up shooting from 20 yards out, wide.

52': Davidson with a nice run down the left... cross, Cooper with the header, just wide.

53': Villa sends it ahead to Davidson, he's down near the end line in the area after a cut, he passes in front of the goal, Shakespeare has it, but his shot is blocked. It doesn't get much easier than that, that need to be a goal every single time.

55': Furious action here, they have a shot from the left side of the area that Gyan dives for and tips behind for a corner. We clear the corner.

62': Jackson with a long pass to Pace, he makes a run into the area, shoots from a pretty tough angle, and its saved.

65': Reynoso in for Pace.

65': They earn a corner on a long cross, ST Schmidt gets his head on it, but Gyan saves.

80': Sandoval in for Tapia.

82': We control possession in the middle for awhile, Shakespeare sends it ahead finally for Cooper, he runs down the right, passes back into the middle, Shaksepeare with a strong shot, but saved.

85': Long free kick for Shakespeare, into the area, headed by Reynoso, just over though.

89': Drop back to Contain for the ending here.

92': We're passing it around for awhile, wasting time mainly, davidson ends up sending it ahead to Reynoso though and he gets by one man and is all alone at the penalty spot... and his shot is saved. That is another shot that needs to be a goal 90% of the time or more.

That'll do it!

Wake Forest 1 : 0 Kentucky

Man of the Match: Brian Davidson (7.5)
Goals: Davidson
Assists: Shakespeare (7.4)
Notables: Jackson (7.2), Campbell (7.1)

After that we sit in 2nd place, actually tied for first but losing in goal differental. But we have extra matches on everyone right now.

We only play two matches in September, so we'll see what the teams around us do. We only have 3 matches left to play total. We are very, very likely to make the playoffs now.
