September Update

-- ST Pace trains well.

-- The board remains very pleased. Locker Room Atmosphere FTW. 0-2 loss to Danville is bad. We lost $3,740 last month.

Injury Update

Backup MC Ashley Sandoval is hurt in a U18 match trying to keep his fitness up, he's out for 4-5 weeks.

September 11th, 2015

Peoria Steamers (10-2-5, 3rd) vs Wake Forest Cougars (10-3-5, 2nd)

Attendence: 336

We beat them earlier this year. We are inexplicably 1-3 favorites on the road against a team who would pass us in the standings if we lose.

Starting Lineup

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

No lineup changes today. Peoria's Jake Wilson has 10 league goals in 14 matches, we're going to try to force him onto his right foot (he's left footed), and close down on him.

2': they get the first shot of the match, its way wide though.

13': Corner for us, Cooper sends it near post, Pickering wins the header but its high.

19': Cooper with a run down the right and a cross to Pace, they taclke it away from Pace immediately, ball falls to Shakespeare, his shot is high.

26': They get a strong pass ahead to ST smith, he pulls the ball out wide right, crosses, Wilson is there and heads it in. 0-1

HALF: We control possession pretty well, and overall its a fairly even match, 4 shots to 3, other stats pretty close, but they've got the goal. I bring Reynoso in for Pace at the half.

52': They send a ball into the left side of the area after a throwin, Wilson gets a clear cut chance... but misses. Whew.

69': Cooper earns us a corner as a shot is blocked. He takes it, it looks to me like the keeper gets his hands on it but can't control it, and Pickering is there to head the loose ball in! 1-1

84': We give the ball away in midfield, they show two quick passes and its on the foot of Wilson, he's at the 18 yard mark has a clear cut chance, we have a defender close to him but not pressuring enouhg, he buries the shot. 1-2

84': Gallardo in for Davidson, Perkins in for Tapia.

90': Gallardo earns us a corner with a cross, Cooper takes it, Pickering heads it... no good. Too high.

92': Gyan with a long kick after a pass back from a defender, it falls to Shakespeare, he pushes forward quickly, only seconds to go likely, he shoots from 20 yards out, and misses badly. That's the game.

Peoria 2 : 1 Wake Forest

Goal: Pickering (7.6)
Assist: Cooper (6.8)

We sit in 4th after the loss, we've still got one more match played than everyone though.
