August 28, 2004 (T1-1)

The fiinal match of the season was a real scorcher. Everyone played hard under intense heat as we had fewer subs than the opponent. Mike J. gave us the lead in the second half when his shot from an impossible angle from the left  side sailed over the outstreched arms of the opposing keeper and and curled into the far corner of the net. The opponent tied it up a few minutes later. Mercifully, the game finally ended and many liquids were consumed by all.

August 21, 2004 (W3-2)

A pregame shower let up and the game was on. We dominated the opponent in the midfield the entire match. Frank, Pete, Dave, and others were able to maintain possesion with good movement and short passes on the ground. Gary, Pat, Mo, and Jawad played stong defense. Buzz came out of the box a few times to take-away break-aways by the opponent. We had some chances to score in the first half but ended the half tied 0-0. Mo relieved Buzz in goal for the second half and made a couple one-on-one saves. The opponent drew first blood early in the second half on a well placed header. Dean tied the match a few minutes later when his cross, intended for Dave, found its way into the far corner of the net. We took the lead 2-1 when Dean followed up a blast from guest player, Pete W. The opponent was able to tie the match 2-2 on a break-away goal. With just minutes left in the match and the ball acting like a pin ball in a crowd in front of the goal, the ball found its way into the net. Jawad remarked that was the ugliest goal he had ever seen. Rick was the closest to the ball as it went in so he gets credit for the game winner.

We were down 1-0 when Buzz entered the game. Rick tied the match on a well placed shot over the opposing keeper. He was assisted by a player on loan. Dave arrived soon after, but offered no excuse. The players on loan returned to the opponent's bench. We were finally at full strength but had no subs and the opponent had five. The opponent took the lead a few minutes later to make it 2-1. Rob was taken down in the box a short time later and was awarded a PK which he promptly put away to tie the match 2-2.

This turned out to be the game winner as Buzz made a spectacular save near the end of the first half to preserve the 3-2 lead. In the second half, an opponent was elbowing  Dave in the back trying to nudge him out of the wall on a direct free kick. Dave took exception and slung the opponent to the ground like a rag doll. Unfortunately, the ref did not see the initial foul and Dave was ejected with a red card. The opponent started pressing more after we went a man down. Gary, Pat, Phil, and Jawad played great defense in the second half as we shutdown the opponent.

May 1, 2004 (L4-2)

The score does not reflect the whole story. Although we lost, we were successful. We started the match with six players. The opponent had eight players. We successfully convinced the opponent to loan us a player. That made the match a friendly one. The match was not canceled. The ref actually stayed and worked the match. Buzz successfully made some spectacular one-on-one saves in the first half. Dave successfully sent Gary a nice low cross from the left and Gary successfully put it in the net to give us the 1-0 lead. Gary suffered a calf injury and tried to play through it. Buzz noticed Gary limping and unable to run. He instructed Gary to leave the match and made it clear that furthering his injury was not worth it in what amounted to a scrimmage. We were now down to six players. The opponent was able to get a break-away goal to tie the match 1-1 late in the first half. Gary showed his guts by offering to return and play keeper in the second half. He did a good job in goal but the defense was showing signs of exhaustion. The opponent took the lead 2-1 midway in the second half. The opponent was called for a hand ball in the box a few minutes later. Dave successfully put the PK in the left side of the net to tie the match 2-2.

Unfortunately, we literally ran out of steam as the opponent scored on two break-away goals in the last five minutes.

April 24, 2004 (W2-0)

Buzz gets second straight shutout. The real story was the defense. Rick was in at sweeper in the first half. He did a superb job while directing the outside defenders Phil and Vince, both of whom played well the entire match. Both teams were one short to start the match. We had a late first half arrival that put us at full strength. Although we were tied 0-0 at the half, the extra man gave us an advantage in the second half. Dave dropped back into the sweeper position in the second half and played like a young man as he shutdown the speedy opposing forward the rest of the match. Frank provided the game winner, halfway through the second half, with an unassisted cross from the right side that was muffed by the opposing keeper before ending up in the goal. Ice put the "ICIng" on the cake a few minutes later as he put one of his patented blasts in to the right corner of the net from about 30 yards out.

April 17, 2004 (W2-0)

Buzz records first shutout of the season. The defense, anchored by Dave, played solid. Pat and Phil played aggressively and thwarted many advances by the opponent. Rick came back in the second half to help preserve the shutout. Frank controlled the midfield the entire match and was constantly moving into open space to give the defense outlets. The opposing keeper made a half dozen or so saves on close in shots. However, we were able to score one goal in each half. The first goal came on a classic give-n-go. Rick played it to Ice, who coolly fed it to the left corner of the box, where Rick curled the shot to the far side of  the net. Pete made a run on the left and scored the second goal off a nice cross-field long ball from Mike F.
