3rd Scrimmage in Oregon

On Friday afternoon in Ontario OR the Treasure Valley Chukars and the Western Wyoming Mustangs squared off in an exhibition or scrimmage match. The day was 104˚ and the Mustangs played almost as hot on the field as the temperature. The only thing missing for the Mustangs on the day was finishing with the ball in the net. The Mustangs had a handful of shots ping off of the posts and crossbars. Along with several missed kicks right in front of the goal and some good keeper saves from TVCC. The scrimmage was tied 0 – 0 at the halftime. The Mustangs controlled most of the play and possession but unfortunately the TVCC Chukars got a free kick from around 25 yards out with 5 minutes remaining on the scrimmage. The free kick found its way towards the back post of WWCC goal and was kicked by a TVCC to the near post and past the WWCC keeper. The Mustangs did not give up and had 5 shots in the last 5 minutes of the scrimmage, including 3 shots on goal to try to tie the scrimmage.
