Practice Today/Abe & Jake's Tonight

Hey there. Don't forget about the Abe & Jake's event tonight in Lawrence, KS, home of the Jayhawks. For Abe & Jake's website, click here.

Practice today was intense. The guys played hard and looked sharp throughout. The final portion of practice consisted of a 6v6 round robin tournament with the two top teams facing off for the championship. Team Orange faced Team Green for the title in a hotly contested match. Marinelli gave Green the lead one minute in, but Orange equalized through a great counter attack that started with Hartman and finished four passes later with an easy tap-in for Ryan Pore at the back post. Referee (and goalkeeper/fitness coach) Dave Tenney gave the teams a brief golden-goal overtime period before sending the game to penalty kicks. The tight PK round went all the way to the goalkeepers. Results are below:
