Gremio Coed Mangles Ligers United

Ligers got screwed

It wasn't the perfect start but good enough for the first win of the season as Gremio Coed also had to comeback from behind to beat Ligers United 3-1. Gremio Coed had two new players playing their first game for the tricolor. Matt was solid of defense and showed some aggressiveness at the end of the game. Jesse was also solid in net, making some key saves early in the game.
A defensive error by Gremio led to a goal for Ligers United. Down 1-0, the tricolor responded with some great passing. Kevin found Mauricio, who beat the defender and toe-kicked it in tying the game 1-1. Minutes later, Gina found Mauricio wide open on the top of the box, and the veteran forward turned and shot beating the keeper for a 2-1 lead.
Karin's sent a perfect through ball, putting Mauricio on a breakaway, as he dribbled the GK and just tap the ball into an empty net for the final score, 3-1.
It was Mauricio's second hat-trick in as many nights, something that hadn't happened for quite some time.
Gremio Coed returns to action next Wednesday night.

Gremio Kickoffs With Blowout Win

Gremio started the fall season at YSC in full-force mode with a 5-1 blowout win over rivals FC Force.
The win came in traditional Gremio come-from-behind style. FC Force drew first blood, when recently married GK Chris Berg was unable to stop an average shot (unless you just came back from your honeymoon). Chris explained what happened as the ball trickled through his hands and into the net, "It was too hard to handle". That's what she said.
The tricolor tied the game when Pete sent a magnificent pass, finding Mauricio wide open and the veteran striker just had to tap it in.
Mauricio struck again but this time with a great shot, after a nice pass from Kevin, hitting upper 90 for a 2-1 lead.
Pete made it 3-1 with a beautiful shot past the trashtalk keeper and Jon B. increased the lead to 4-1 hitting a knuckle-ball shot. Mauricio put final numbers on a header off the crossbar.
Scott played his first game for Gremio, showing some nice skills and solid defense.
Gremio will be back in action next Tuesday.
