Bethesda Internationals

6 Jun. '04. The rain stopped during the night, although the skies were cloudy, a bit windy with coolish temps in the low 60's. It was a splendid match between two heavy weight contestants, with both teams sending jabs back and forth, attacking and counter-attacking. At about the 10 minute mark, Tre of the RR's collected a nicely placed CK in the goal mouth and slammed in a hard, left-footed shot past Eric of MSC. About 10 minutes later, after a nice CK was launched into the goal mouth, a furious scramble to the ball ensued with MSC collecting the ball and sent it into the net, and the match remained tied at the half, 1-1. In the second half, both teams kept attacking and counter-attacking and it seemed that the match might remain tied and go into OT; however, with about 5 minutes left, Jamal of the RR's received a pass in right side of the box and managed to elude a MSC defender and sent a nice sharp-angled shot into the net past MSC's excellent GK, Eric. With only a few minutes left, MSC managed to create a couple of scoring opportunities but to no avail. Congratulations to the Roadrunners, U12B/MD State Cup Champions, for their hard fought victory over their previous D1 arch rival, MSC United, 2-1. Congratulations also to MSC United for achieving its Finalist showing. Also, Congratulations to other BSC teams who won MD State Cup as well: U13G Blast, U15B United, U16G Eclipse, U17G Excel, U18G Strikers, U18G Rowdies (wildcard), U19B Alliance, and U19G Dragons.
