Two Wins in a Row for Soccer!

Orinda Academy: 3 v. Athenian School (JV): 1  -  10.17.08

 
Orinda Academy won their second consecutive game defeating the Athenian School by a score of 3-1.  It was a great team effort and, I believe, their best and most consistent effort of the year.  Julia Friedman scored to give us a 1-0 lead for the second conecutive game and after Athenian tied the score, Dylan Goldman gave us a 2-1 lead with his third goal of the season.  Both our goals were scored off of beautiful passes by Chris Scott.  In the 2nd half, Ben chose to put a couple of his best offensive players back on the defense, a decision that often ends up with us playing mostly in our zone.  This time, our offense stepped it up putting good pressure on our opponents, with Steven Wang leading the way and eventually setting up an insurance goal on a great effort by Lino Sanchez-Siegel.  Meanwhile our defensive strategy worked beautifully with Dylan and Chris helping David Treas defend, but it was some great goalie work by Brandon Davis and some excellent slide tackles by Austin Roberts that really sealed the victory.  Again, everyone contributed and it was a great team victory.  I hope to see you all at our last game of the season on Tuesday, October 21st at Bentley.  Check out the photos here.
