JO '07 #11 : Cats Lose Heartbreaker to Pacific

Tuesday, 2:55 PDT

The team lost a hard-fought game to Pacific this afternoon 7-6. It was a see-saw battle all day long with Pacific. Down 1-0 at the end of the first, the Jungle Cats relied heavily on their counter-attack in the 2nd take a 3-1 advantage into halftime. Playing their drop defense for most of the 2nd half, the team forced Pacific into taking mediocre outside shots in the 3rd quarter, and the JCats held a 1 goal advantage heading into the 4th. However, the boys from Pacific began hitting their outside shots - many of them lobs - and the Cats couldn't seem to catch a break. The game was over when, after a timeout, the team was called for an offensive foul with about 7 seconds left.

All in all, it was a great 4 days of play. The team came a long way in terms of communicating, thinking, and playing a hard 20 minutes. John Heafner led the team with 16 pts (12G, 4A), followed by Mike Sizemore (15/9/6) and Tim Dale (13/9/4).

The team comes home tomorrow night. The flight information is available on the website.

Thanks for staying up-to-date. This has been fun...
