Reserves vs KUA, Oct. 1

The Reserves came from behind to defeat KUA 4-3 in a very physical hard fought game. KUA struck first and the Reserves found themselves trailing an opponent for the first time all year. Tri-Captain Dan Perovich converted a PK in the 19th minute to even up the score, but the tie was shortlived as KUA quickly pulled ahead by virtue of a nice breakaway. In the 30th minute, Sam Hicks scored the equalizer on an assist from Austin Sumanis. Two minutes later Sumanis bullied his way past several KUA defenders and feed Hicks again for the go ahead goal. Not to be outdone, KUA came back and scored sending the game into a 3-3 tie at half-time.
The Reserves came out fired-up in the second half applying a great deal of pressure on their opponent which resulted in what turned out to be the winning goal. Hicks, delivering a beautiful cross, connected with Will Kermond who one touched the ball into the back of the net for his first goal of the season.
