CSC 00 Boys Gold vs United Gold at 6:45pm on 9/9/11

We started out playing pretty well and had some scoring chances early in the game but did not capitalize on our chances in the first half. United scored first toward the end of the first half and we answered back right before half time. We discussed coming out strong and playing hard in the second half and felt pretty good in our chances. Unfortunately, they had an early cross which we did not mark well on the back post and they scored again. In the first twenty minutes of the second half they cored two more on us and we were down 4-1. Each time they scored, our players seemed to stay positive and say "lets go" and "we can get it back". Our players must have believed in themselves and their abilities because we came back and scored 4 Goals to win the game 5-4! I told them after the game that as long as I have been coaching some of these player (since they were 5yrs old) I have never been as proud as I was in the last 5 minutes of the game. Not because they won the game but because they believed in themselves, played as a team, and they did not quit. Win, tie, or lose they played great aggressive soccer in the last ten minutes which is what we have been working on for the last few years. I can't wait for them to put 60 minutes together like that! Great job boys!!
