ORR 1 Voke 5

A miserable opening 12 minutes proved too much to overcome for the Reds.  Voke quickly scored 5 goals before ORR settled in and began to play the best soccer of season.   For the first few minutes it was all Voke, the following 70 minutes belonged to ORR. 

Teddy Costa scored the lone goal for the Bulldogs early in the second half as they continually pressed and kept Voke on the defensive.  Steve O Burke had a golden chance in the first half before things got out of hand.  Paul Graves,  Alden Truesdale,  Max Houck and Robby Magee all had good tries at Voke Louis Carranza who was forced into making some  big saves. 

For the final 70 minutes freshman keeper Melvin Vincent was Carranza's equal when he was called upon to tip over the bar three rockets destined for the upper 90.   The rest of the defense, Alex Milde, CC Carando, Teddy Costa, Robby Magee and Tyler Hunter all had games of their careers.  They played with a fire and desire to win the ball that left Voke with no answers to form any dangerous attacks.  Mike Bliss, Max Houck, Kevin Noone, Alvaro Mansilla and Mike Pruchnik took control of the midfield setting the tempo for ORR's final push. 

ORR finished the season with a disappointing 5-9-2 record.  The team left the field with their heads held high knowing that in this final game, every player gave everything they had and understood that this team was a lot better than the record.
