After 25 minutes of scoreless soccer, Team Leftovers scored 3 goals in 5 minutes to take the lead and ultimately defeat JPL FC. “It was a learning experience for our team,” commented Team Captain Joe Tertel. “We had our chances early in the game and a few late in the game, but tonight we couldn’t buy a goal. Our team will learn from this and get better.”

Unlucky

Throughout the first half of the game, Team JPL had multiple shots on goal and numerous missed opportunities. After several errant passes, defensive breakdowns and some “unlucky” bounces, JPL fell down and could not get back into the game. JPL pushed the offense late in the game, but missed shots and long rebounds lead to fast break opportunities in the other direction. The Leftovers made the best of their chances and defeated the team from JPL.

“We have a young team,” said Assistant Captain Katy Bastas. “We’ll get things right for the next game and come home with a win!”

Looking to Rebound

JPL FC takes on the Jesters next Tuesday at 9:30pm.
