Game Recap

• The Rams found themselves in a defensive battle at Eliot Park Field on Saturday afternoon to kickoff the Homecoming weekend. The Storm started quickly with a goal by Ger Jones in the 6th minute of the first half. After the early attack by the Storm, it was both team's defensive fronts creating the highlight for the afternoon. The early score by the Storm proved to be the decider, as the score remained locked in at 1-0 for the rest of the contest. The Rams were able to provide a presence on the other side of the field, but weren't able to capitalize on their opportunities, as they put up 20 total shots for the afternoon. Both continued to play extremely stout on the defensive end. Both teams had a few opportunities in the second half of the contest, but neither team could find the back of the net. Josué Boutouli was key in the Rams defensive effort and movement of the ball as they held the Storm to 9 total shots on goal for the entire afternoon. The ninety minutes of strong defensive play by the Rams has been a key highlight of their success this season thus far.
