[FCSC] – There were six consecutive ties between the two teams going back three years. However, that streak was finally put to rest Saturday night as the Storm edged out the San Diego Boca 2-1. F.C.S.C’s leading scorer came though again for the Storm, adding 4 points to his stats as Tyler Coombes scored twice in this game;the first in the 14th minute off of a break away. Robbie Goukhad the ball at the 20 yard line doing his best to maintain possession with two defenders surrounding him. Robbie made a quick back pass to the feet of Coombes who, with the keeper coming off his line quickly, slipped the ball passed Boca ‘keeper Tad Caraway and posted the first one of  the game.

The single goal barely held up though out the first half with the Boca attacking hard and actually maintaining most control of the game.The visitors were attacking hard but it wasn’t until the 32nd minute that they broke though the Storm defense. Boca’s midfielder Alberto Lopez took a shot that was headed directly towards the inside netting of the goal, but Storm ‘keeper Steven Rodriguez came up big, as he did all night, and stretched across the mouth of the goal to push the ball out just shy of the post. Later in the half, off of a corner kick the Boca once again tried to get even when Genard Cervantes got a shot that looked at the empty side of the net but Rodriguez came up big yet again as he slid across the goal line to put himself behind the ball and collecting it for the save.  Boca had 4 other chances before the half concluded but the Storm keeper stopped each one to end the half with six saves on six shots.

fcsc062513The second half began with a couple of changes for the Storm beginning with a heavy attack. Entering the game in the 45th minute was midfielder Joel Gunterman, followed in the 53rd minute by   midfielder Alex Harlley. It took only 4 minutes after entering the game Harlley found himself in the corner of the Boca zone and covered by defenders. “I saw a black uniform at the penalty spot so I just kept ground and passed it to his feet” said Harlley on his assist. It was the feet of Coombes standing uncovered by the Boca defense as he quickly snapped off a shot that found it’s way through a defender and Boca keeper Caraway to score what ended up to be the game winner. As in the 79th minute Boca’s attack resulted in a shot about 15 yards out that rocketed in to take the clean sheet away for Rodriguez. Rodriguez was announced as player of the game.

The Storm had several opportunities that were denied by Caraway who came up with several big saves. Gouk and Coombes had five shots between them that would of been on the score board if not for the saves of Caraway.

Storm now with 20 points sit second in the N.P.S.L standings as F.C Hasental defeated the San Diego Flash by a score of 2-1in a game that seen six yellow cards and one red card.
