Is this further evidence that the mid-season break is beneficial?

I missed writing a report about the last game before spring break.  But perhaps that wasn't so bad as we had a torrid experience and lost very heavily to a good team that really didn't show any class or sportsmanship.  Still, that is now water under the bridge, or so they say.

So this week we returned to the Soccerdome, refreshed after Spring Break. Well at least the kids appeared to benefit from the break. There were several parents watching who looked like they needed a further "staycation" in STL to recover from some very long drives.  I feel your pain people. I arrived back in Kirkwood at 7pm last night after driving up from Florida.

And I believe we did benefit from the break.  Alright, so we lost again, but this was by far our best performance as a team. We used the walls, made some great tackles and were committed throughout! Jack Lester made some great saves in goal and we really enjoyed his big clearances down field. We want more of those! Our forwards played and hustled hard and our efforts were rewarded as both Nicholas and Easton scored. Our defending was stout too. Everyone played their part and it was terrific to see!

If we play like that again we will start to win games I have no doubt!

Man of the match: AJ Wallach. For his anticipation and reading of the game, his awareness to make the right tackle and knowing where his team mates were to pass to. Well done AJ!
