JPL’s First Goal of the Season Was Just Not Enough
In a game that saw two teams fight to the final second, JPL FC battled Team CPA in last night’s late soccer game.
With a few scrum goals in front of the net, CPA took an early 3-0 lead. “Keep your heads up,” said “The Veteran” Jim Mitchell as he encouraged his team. “We are still in this!” Only a few seconds later, Jim stole the ball in his defensive end to start what would be the play of the game.

After Jim’s steal, Nick “el profesor” Buckwalter took a pass to beat two defenseman and forwarded the ball to team captain Joe Tertel. Tertel made a nifty move around the final defenseman to draw the goalie out and with a beautiful pass, found “The Irish Sharpshooter” Jenny McClean wide open to score the first goal of the 2007 JPL season.
“It was unbelievable! What a pass! What a shot!” commented Dan “The Superfan” Leister, who came to the game to lend his support and photography expertise. “I can’t believe how good these guys are!”
JPL kept up the pressure with over a dozen additional shots late in the game, but could not add another goal and fell to Team CPA 4-1.
