From the Trinity HS athletic webpage.

Collegiate scores in the 35th minute, 1- 0 at the half.

Trinity ties it up in the 47th minute.

Collegiate scores the winner in the 53rd minute.

Big surprise to me.

I heard the final 4 minutes were an absolute barrage by Trinity trying to get the equalizer. Did Haji play? If not, any Intel on whether he may yet be back?

Trinity looked to be in a flat 4-4-2 with the kids playing back and sandwiching Colliegate forwards, and pretty much shutting them down. Problem is you leave midfielders un challenged at about 35-40 yards out. I believe it was Wheeler who knocked in one from about 30-35 when no one stepped up to challenge. It was an awesome shot. It was from the side, above the 18yard box corner and beat the keeper near post.

 

Trinity scored on a nice shot from about 35-40 yards out and straight on.

 

Collegiate had a thru ball that was chipped by the keeper by Abdi #27.

 

Trinity Keeper didn't have a great game. I believe the first one was "savable". Collegiate may have had 4 shots. Trinity finished with a flurry in the last 15 minute. hit the cross bar once and missed wide on a few more.

 

Collegiate keeper may have come out and snagged 15 crosses from the feet or from throw ins.

 

Fun game to watch with a lot of passion on the field.

 

My respect for Haji is well documented. With that said, he played most of the game but didn't really non factor. Seemed slightly lazy off the ball. Perhaps more of drawing attention from the defense, freeing up others. He flopped a bunch and had a elbow to the face of the trinity right back when play was away from him that didn't get notice by the ref. Trinity defender needed to go out with a goal by Collegiate shortly after. Perhaps it was "red card" worthy.

 

Exciting game. Surely X will beat CAL for the rematch.

 

Collegiate 3-1 over X. They are beatable.

I heard the final 4 minutes were an absolute barrage by Trinity trying to get the equalizer. Did Haji play? If not, any Intel on whether he may yet be back?

 

 

Yes he did play and was pretty much a non factor. I was unimpressed with him today. Wheeler played very strong for Collegiate.

Wow...will be a fun day in the hallways at Collegiate tomorrow.

 

Trinity has had a heck of a year, I'm sure they are heartbroken tonight. Hold your heads high, Rocks.
