NM Gladiators 1 - CS Arsenal FC 2 Semifinal

Well, our streak has ended in the semifinals once again. We started the game too slow (tired from yesterday's OT?) and went 2 goals down in the first 15 minutes. We finally got up to speed by halftime and in the second half put good pressure on them and got a goal. But alas, too few too late. Arsenal FC was a VERY fast, skilled team (as are all CA teams at this level) and it was a pleasure to watch 2 teams play the same style of possession, quick passing futbol. This was the first team we played that played our style...too bad they played it a bit better than us. Hats off to them and kudos to our boys for the valiant attempt at a Regional title!

Soccer is done (for this trip) so let the vacation & adventures begin!! I will continue to update the blog with our daily adventures from here and Kauai. Today, Brian and Maddie are heading to Waimea Bay (the Rock) with different families. I have some free time and will try some snorkeling near here that I heard was quite good. Thanks for your support and attention! ALOHA! Scott
