2 mistakes, game over. We've lost twice this year to teams that we are better than on mistakes - Orem and Springville. Orem is definitely not the better team in this match and the score isn't indicative of how the game went. However, the beauty and controversy of soccer is that many times a game can be won or lost on a single play. Possession helps win games, but in and of itself it doesn't. Another Mel Gibson movie (not a huge fan of his acting but he does star in a couple great one) illustrates the point I would like to make about leadership. In the edited version of this movie the troops are falling back into a retreat because they are getting badly beat at first, but Benjamin grabs the American Flag and yells "hold the line, hold the line!" The retreating troops turn around and push forward to win the battle. I was hoping someone would've stepped up and said "This is our game, this is our home, we win this game." It takes a lot of maturity and confidence to believe that you can be the difference in a game like this. I think we've realized this and will from here on out step up to the challenge. Who is going to hold the line and who is going to be the one who sacrifices a little comfort to step up when it counts?

Player of the Game: Dallin Delgado - when he got in he gave it his all - the pass through to the halfbacks was stopped because of his marking.
