Second Scrimmage at Westminster

On Saturday in Salt Lake City UT at the Westminster campus the WWCC Mustangs had their second scrimmage of the 2011 season against the Westminster Griffin JV team. It was the second scrimmage match for the Mustangs in as many days and their expectations were high to continue to play at a high level. WWCC got on the scoreboard first when in the 14th minute Cameron Lowry took a long throw in that Andrew Newbold kicked past the keeper with his left foot. The Griffins had the rest of the scoring for the half and the scrimmage after this point. Westminster scored in the 30th, 39th and 41st minute to put the Mustangs in a big whole at the halftime break.

The second half the Mustangs played better but were a little unlucky to not get on the scoreboard and were unlucky when Westminster scored the only goal of the second half off of a poor goal kick that gave the Griffins a 1 on 1 situation, which they scored in the 70th minute. The Mustangs did out shoot the Griffins 11 to 5 in the second half.

Twenty three of the Mustangs played in the match, all except for Steven Shelley and Logan Anderson who were nursing injuries. The following players got their first start of the season; Chad Englert, Angel Muniz, Mitch Christensen, Andrew Newbold and Cory Thibeault.
