Wake Forest Cougars (15-7-5, 1st) vs Lexington Thoroughbreds (13-2-12, 7th)
Attendance: 295
-- We beat them 3:2 at our place back in April.
Starting Lineup
GK: Barton
D: Rongen/Burke/Hernandez/Varela
M: Williams/Wilkins
AM: Gallardo/Crook
ST: Roth/Maurer
Backups at every spot. We'll attack.
11': Through ball to Roth, clear cut chance, but saved.
19': Roth hits a cutting Gallardo for a shot, but high.
25': They get a pass into the left side of the area, there's a prety good looking shot, Barton dives and pushes it away. They get to the rebound but not quick enough, Barton recovers and gets back up, blocks the next shot and we clear.
46': Hernandez with a yellow. He'll miss our next match.
HALF: We outshoot them 5-2, their one attack at 25 minutes was it.
47': Rongen is hurt and must leave immediately. Hernandez moves to DL, reserve Jesus Antonio Guerrero is our backup defender today, he's in at DC.
60': They get a long ball ahead to a striker, he just outruns Guerrero, clear cut chance but Barton stops it.
67': Gallardo with a corner, they head it away but can't clear, it comes down to Williams who gets good shot off, but saved.
74': Navarro in for Roth, Perkins in for Wilkins.
76': We build up down the left side, Gallardo passes ahead to Navarro, he is well covered, lays it off for Perkins who has a good look, but right at the keeper.
84': Maurer to Gallardo, back to Maurer, he shoots from 20 yards out, its stopped, but there's a rebound, it falls to Crook, he blasts it in! 1-0
90': Varela to Maurer to Navarro after an interception, Navarro is behind the defense by a step, he shoots from 18 yards out, saved. Corner goes nowhere.
90': Crook with a run down the right, cross to the far post for Navarro, he heads it in! 2-0
That'll do it.
Wake Forest 2 : 0 Lexington
Man of the Match: Ryan Crook (8.1)
Goals: Crook, Navarro (7.3)
Assists: Crook, Maurer (7.5)
Notables: Valera (7.1), Hernandez (7.0)
I'm really happy to see Navarro get a goal. He's got 8 on the year but its been awhile b/c of injury issues.
-- This was our last match in league play. We get $116,000 for locking up first place.
The North America Amateur Cup finals are in a few days and then we're done with this season.
