Golden Eagle Soccer

Aug. 27th, Sacramento, CA - Feather River College Men kicked off immediately following the women’s match on Friday and felt confident that they could take on the top ranked Beavers.
1st half jitters got to the Golden Eagles a bit and while it was nil-nil at the half, FRC did not perform well. After a half time talk from coaches Don Williams and Pedro Lopez FRC began to dominate possession and looked like a different team - awesome. “Our men are so creative, savvy, and smart with the ball. When we move the ball properly it is a thing of beauty to watch” said Coach Williams.  Defensively Alex Sanchez and Peter Salazar anchored the back line for the Golden Eagles while Garret Fausett and Juan Garcia were very threatening when overlapping out of their outside back spots. “I know that my outside backs are going to cause problems for other teams defenses this year once they learn how to play balls into the box properly” said Williams.  The Beavers scored off of a corner kick, FRC lacking in height a bit, so that is a place that they can be exposed. The men did not quit though and battled like true Golden Eagles to the last whistle.

Coach Williams last thought was “Most importantly, both teams carried themselves like ladies and gentlemen with pride, poise, and honor. They represented FRC and the town of Quincy very well and we should all be proud of them.”
