5th Floor Wins

It's a couple of days overdue, but the 5th floor utterly dominated the 3rd floor sales staff by a count of 5-0 Friday at Swope Park. First-half goals from Christian Geidus (German intern) and Kyle Rogers (Hillcrest) started the scoring with the wind behind the back of the upstairs crew. Geidus ripped a 20-yard blast into the side netting after a cross bounced around in the area. Rogers dribbled to the end line, carried toward goal and slotted home inside the near post from close range.

In the second half, the sales staff pushed forward with the wind at their backs looking to claw back into the game, but the 5th floor crew used the added pressure to counter attack effectively. James Flexman put home a close-range shot after a counter attack started deep in the 5th floor crew's end and Flexman raced past two defenders before slotting inside the near post. Jacques Tournoy then put in a beautiful chip from 15 yards out after Rob Thomson started the counter attack with a quick outlet to Rogers, who slipped a ball between two defenders for Tournoy. Rogers capped the scoring seconds before the final whistle after a shot from Dave Borchardt was initially stopped by Sales goalkeeper Darren Gertsen and Rogers slid the ball in from just off the goal line to complete the comprehensive shutout. Goalkeeper Chad Reynolds made three wonderful saves, including a full-extension effort on a blast from Brian Roberts in the second half.

On behalf of the 5th floor, thanks for the pizza and beer, sales staff.
