Titans@Abby0-0
Last year, it was a come-from-behind 2-2 tie against these guys. This time, we were coming on at the last part of the game, but couldn't quite put it in.
Andrew Overbeek picked up a yellow card for his collision with their keeper. A split second too late — and the keeper raised his knee to Andrew, which caused the contact. Andrew was also sent off in the second half... to remove jewelry.
We were mostly free of rain until the end, but the field was pretty slick and the footing was touchy... lots of smacking hits! Kyle was looking for some action, so he laid the smack down on Sitwala in the second half, in a goal-mouth scramble.
Neither team had many great shots on goal, but Justin probably had the best chance late in the second half. He had a partial breakway but was cut down in the box by a slide tackle from behind. We didn't even get a corner kick on the play!
Doug Hoshowski, Nate Alcos and Bryan Hunt were in their first games for the team and they showed well.

Justin, before a head-on-head collision put him out for half the game.
(I guess it was raining early on.)

Looks like a great chance for Daniel — but....
