Bethesda Internationals

6 Sep. 2003. On a pleasant and sunny morning, Inter came out to Reston to play RFC '91 on a nice field -- although the grass was a bit high. The fans were not disappointed, as they were treated to a high caliber game from start to finish. For the first half, both teams dug in defensively as the offenses sputtered and were unable to knock in the ball, 0-0. Inter pretty much controlled the game in the first half, playing often on RFC '91 side with several shots on goal, but in the second half RFC' 91 stepped up the pressure both offensively and defensively. About mid-way through the 2nd half, a nice run was made by their right forward and Philip came out to challenge the player who dribbled/side-stepped with the ball, found an open lane and crossed the ball into the goal mouth as Philip's support could not cover quick enough. However, Skylar was able to race over to kick the ball straight out of the goal mouth but into a RFC '91 player and the ball was deflected back towards the goal next to Rob lying on the ground, who was unable to pick it up quick enough before a RFC '91 player tapped it in. Earlier, Nick's DFK from about 22+ yards out sailed just high over the cross bar, and numerous shots on goal by several Inter players could not find the back of the net today. Congratulations to RFC '91 for another fine game and win over Inter, in what is becoming a great rivalry between two very good, rising D1 teams.
