Another weekend, another tournament, another hard fought - well earned championship for the DUSC U16 White team.  This past weekend, the U16s took to the road and traveled down to Manassas, Virginia for the Annandale Premier Cup.   There was a certain look in the boys' eyes this weekend.  They had a sense of confidence and desire and you can see it in their approach to the game in their warmups.  From the very first whistle until the final one, the boys never saw themselves down even one goal.  For the second consecutive weekend, the boys played on a Friday evening to get the tournament started.  Facing a talented Princeton team under the lights on a chilly and windy evening, the boys dominated all but 10 minutes of the game.  We came out strong and at ease, possessing the ball and attacking both wings.  We nearly took a lead early in the game but a handful of our efforts missed the net by ever so slim of margins.  We did manage to take the lead when Maxi Ojeda dribbled towards the top of the box and then slotted a ball in between two defenders and into the run of Oliver Streitz.  Streitz, with no one between him and the goalie, calmly placed the ball into the side of the net.  Entering halftime, I stated to the the boys a couple of things they needed to be weary of.  They needed to be aware that the game was far from over, be ready for a sudden push by Princeton and it was imperative that we put our chances away in the second half.  The initial 10 minutes of the second half was what I envisioned could happen.  Princeton came out strong, came out pressuring and took control of the game. At the nine minute mark, they earned a free kick at 20 yard line and with the wind at their backs, Princeton took a sharp shot that entered the upper right side netting tying the game up at 1-1.  After their goal, with strong play from Nicholas and Nathaniel Brown, we quickly took control of the game again and they never formed another threat and the game ended as a draw; one with which we felt like it was a loss.  The next day, determined to make up for the loss of those two additional points in the standings, we put the game away almost before it had even started.    Playing SC Waukesha, a premier squad that trekked down from Wisconsin, Jonathan Jaramillo found himself in front of the goal twice in the first 10 minutes on passes from Ojeda and Kevin Rodriguez.  On both occasions he easily avoided the goalie's outreached arms and slotted the ball into the back of the net.  We did not stop there as Ojeda again set up Streitz only just a couple minutes later to make the game 3-0.  SC Waukesha received a free kick on a favorable call right before the end of the first half.  On a thunder of a strike just out of the reach of Ziggy Camejo, they made the game much more reachable going into halftime 3-1.   The boys would not let SC Waukesha gain any momentum and actually completely took the air out of their sales on what i feel was the goal of the tournament.  Benjamin Hicks, playing right fullback, calmly received the ball in our own half and without hesitation sent an absolute beauty of a long ball diagonally across the field into the run of Oscar Estrada.  Estrada, without any sense of doubt, simply chipped the goalie and the ball entered the goal making the score 4-1 and completing the scoring for the match.  On Sunday, we played an early game against a very physical and talented Baltimore Bays side.  Once again, we found ourselves up early in the game when Chris Schrum headed in a corner kick by Jaramillo, making the score 1-0 five minutes in.  From that point on, it was not a pretty game and an extremely physical game but we found ourselves advancing to the finals for a consecutive weekend as the game ended with that lone goal.  Playing with a couple key players missing from the lineup and about to play their fourth game of the weekend, you can see that the boys were very tired and did not have much more in their tanks.  However, if you have ever witnessed one of our practice sessions, you would know that we stress that whenever you hit that wall where you are tired at practice - that is exactly when you need to push yourself that extra little bit for moments exactly like this.  We did exactly that playing against a Bayport team that is ranked highly in the state and the region.  You can see that both teams were absolutely exhausted so we simply kept possession of the ball as much as possible and waited for our moments to attack.  We took the lead 17 minutes in on an own goal and never looked back.   Bayport fought up until the final whistle.  They nearly tied the game up with one minute left if it had not been for an acrobatic save from Kenneth Caballero.   We were not going to be denied this championship.  The back line of Schrum, Hicks, Dan Sullivan, Anthony Mendez and Nicholas Brown had just limited four premier teams to two goals off of set pieces which is quite an accomplishment.  Overall an impressive weekend but simply another step in the right direction and another one of our many goals for this 2012 year.

It was a very successful weekend for the DUSC U16s.  However, at the outset of the tournament on Friday night, it did not seem like it was going to be.  With the game scheduled for Friday night at Tibbets Brook Park in Yonkers during rush hour, many of the boys arrived just in time for the start of the game and did not get a proper warm up.  On a cold night, that was certainly not ideal.  The game showed that in the first 5 minutes.  NYSC came out flying and pressured us from the outset and sure enough they scored a goal at the 4 minute mark.  It wasn't until the 10 minute mark that the boys settled down a bit and began to play their style of soccer.  NYSC still had the momentum though going into half time up 1-0.  The second half was a battle between the two sides with the match going back and forth.  NYSC went up 2-0 but our boys were relentless and refused to go down without a fight.  We immediately responded to the opponent's goal with a goal of our own from Oliver Streitz and like that momentum was now on our side.  As we continued to push, Jonathan Jaramillo found himself open at the top of the box with an open shot and calmly slotted the ball into the lower left corner to tie the game up at 2-2.  That would be the final result of the first game of the weekend.   The next day would provide another challenge.  Playing at a very windy Aviator field against the reigning state cup champs in Massapequa, the boys came out much more ready to play in the first half.  Moving the ball with ease against the wind and creating a handful of opportunities.  We went into half time up 1-0(on a goal by Jaramillo) confident that with the wind at our backs, we can put this game away and walk away with a W.  That was not the case.  Massapequa came out much more aggressive and took momentum for the entire half and erasing the 1-0 deficit and equalizing the score at 1-1.  The boys came away with the game feeling as they had just been defeated and looking at the next day's match against a very talented Beachside as a daunting task.  Only a win would push us through to the final round - the exact same situation that occurred to us at the Fort Dix showcase in the Fall.  Beachside had ended our chance at making the finals in the tournament.  The next day came and the boys believed they were up for the task at hand.  What occurred next was a tale of two completely different halves of soccer.  Beachside commenced the game pressuring us very aggressively and attacking with numbers.  At the 11 minute mark, Beachside was rewarded for the aggression with an open shot at the top of the box that made the game 1-0.  We did not want to give in and kept pushing to try and get the equalizer before the half but we were unsuccessful as Beachside simply kept stopping any of our attacks.  Then came halftime.  As the coach of these boys, I was happy at what i saw at halftime.  I did not see despair.  I did not see defeat nor panic.  I saw desire and determination.  Even i could not have foreseen what was about to happen.  The boys came out hungry for a win.  They moved the ball with precision and speed, creating opportunity after opportunity.  The Beachside goalkeeper was up to the task for the first handful of opportunities - including stopping breakaways from Jaramillo and Oscar Estrada.  With each opportunity, our confidence grew.  Once again, Jaramillo found himself open inside the box and he calmly slotted the ball into the lower right hand corner to tie the game up at 1-1.  We had taken over the momentum of the game completely and after getting fouled at the top of the box, Streitz stepped up to take the freekick.  He calmly drove the ball towards the net.  The ball took a deflection and like that, we now found ourselves up 2-1.  We did not look back until the final whistle which saw us advancing to the Finals.  The final game displayed that the many hours of practice and fitness sessions were paying off.  The game was never in question.  The boys sensed that this was their time to shine and played nearly a flawless game.  Moving the ball from side to side, keeping possession of the ball, and dominating the entire game.  We went on to win the final by a score of 3-0 on goals by Kevin Rodriguez, Harris Kolenovic, and an absolute beauty of goal by Charlie Morales. We walked off the field tired, bruised, cold and champions of the MSC tournament.
