BSC International

This past week concluded the first winter session at Epic Center for BSC International. BSC really couldn’t have asked for a better session - including playoffs, we went 8-0, scoring 38 goals, and only let in 7.

This last game ended ended in a 2-1 win for BSC. It should be no surprise to fans who put the two in for BSC - the first goal was scored early on in the game by one of our frequent scorers, Ryan Knapp. Knapp received the ball near the top of the 18 yard box, where he spun with it and shook a Blue Martini defender on his back, leaving himself a short shot to beat the keeper.

While BSC continued to dominate, the lead didn’t last until the end of the game - Blue Martini had a couple good chances before they put one in, including a spectacular attempt at a diving by one of their attackers who (fortunately for BSC) just missed the ball. The goal Blue Martini scored came from a near break away, where BSC defender Jeff Au committed a smart foul and gently knocked down the Blue Martini attacker before he could shoot or cross into the penalty area. Unfortunately, the smart defending ceased for a moment here & Blue Martini toe poked the ball into the back of the net before BSC was able to position themselves for the ensuiing free kick.

BSC’s second goal was one of their prettiest of season - proving this past year’s recruiting payed off as Marc “Spanish” Campillo and Evan Wydro combined for some crisp passing. Spanish knocked the ball to Evan, who moved and fed it right back to Spanish to put in the back of the net. All of their passes took place in tight space, spinning the involved Blue Martini defenders around to look for the ball.

Blue Martini played hard to the end, nearly scoring on a half-break. BSC’s goalie Nick Wydro decided otherwise, tipping the ball enough to hit the goal post and pick it back up off the rebound. Nick deserved the save after the great season he’d had in net.

With the way the schedule fell, this was the first matchup between our two teams. We look forward to another great season & match vs. Blue Martini.
