WOLFPAC pull together to defeat Work Doers FC 4-1,
get first win of Spring season...
Friday May 1st, 2009
It didn't look good for the team in Orange
on Sunday morning, April 26th - Wolfpac hadn't seen a win
in its last four games. Struggling to field
a full team and playing a younger, fully
staffed
Work Doers side, the outlook was
gloomy.
However, the 10 remaining mostly healthy
players, plus one reserve put on a clinical
showing of possession, finishing and
defending that earned Wolfpac its first win
of the Spring.
Owens, scoring one of his own also assisted
in Woodruff's and Smith's third goals this
season. Smith hits two from the penalty spot
while Woodruff gets in behind the Work Doers
defense on a perfectly timed through-ball.
A stout defense was also on display with two
Lashbrooks, Boyett, Grambush and Quemada
coming just a few minutes shy of Wolfpac's
first shutout - tired legs couldn't get to a
ball pinged around the 6-yard line before a
Work Doer mid slotted home the final goal of
the game.
Leading only 1-0 at the half, Wolfpac found
ways to make the most of their opportunities
in the second half, despite now only having
10 men - adding an additional the 3 goals
that more or less took any fight out of the
Work Doers team.
Plagued by a recent rash of injuries and one
suspension Wolfpac was without five of its
normal players for Sunday's match. This
weeks upcoming game the team expects two of
those players to return but it also has two
others nursing injuries sustained versus the
Work Doers.
In Wolfpac's week 3 Matchup the team was
reduced to nine players after a red card was
issued and another player fell to injury.
The team however pulled within one despite
giving up an own goal.
Roster size could be an issue this week when
the team faces Haiduc Moldova on Sunday May,
3rd - 1 PM at Grasslawn park in Redmond.
Haiduc Moldova
(1-1-1, 4 pts)
currently sits one spot below Wolfpac in the
standings but has played one less game.
