Bethesda Internationals

28 Dec. '08.  The Internationals faced the San Juan Lightning 92 Blue (CA-N), Surf Cup Gold 2008 Champs in a late afternoon match back out at WWS.  The Lightning would strike first at the 9 min. mark after a ball in the box was unable to be cleared away about 12-15 yds. out o Inter's left side.  The San Juan team would manage just 2 shots on goal and 3 corner kicks while committing 6 fouls but only finished the earlier lone goal.  The Internationals took 5 shots on goal and 1 corner kick while committing 4 fouls -- and the equalizer goal came at about the 32 min. mark when the GK booted a low ball away on the turf directly to Chris around 10-12 yds. center who sent a shot into the net as the GK came out too late to try and regather the ball.  About 5 mins. later, Schillo rcvd a pass in the middle, dribbled to his right, eluding defenders and chipped a well-placed shot over defenders and the GK into the upper left corner of the net to put Inter up 2-1.

In the 2nd half, the Lightning stepped up its offensive intensity, taking 5 shots on goal including a hard shot which Seth made a finger-tip save, and 3 corner kicks while committing 4 fouls.  Inter was held to just 2 shots on goal and 2 corner kicks while committing 7 fouls (including 1 handball and 2 offsides), and the match ended, 2-1, Internationals.
