Reston Knights - 4
The Nike Boys went on the road to Northern Virginia for the second round of the Virginia State Cup. Their opponent was the Reston Knights. The Nike Boys came out hard and aggressive putting the Knights on their heels right from the start. A foul in the early minutes of the game by Reston gave the Nike Boys a free kick off to the left of the Knights goal. Josh took the kick and sent a bending ball over the outstretched hands of the Reston keeper and into the back of the net. Nike Boys 1 Reston Knights 0.
A short time later in the 12th minute, Wes makes a run at the Reston Keeper. His shot at the far post is blocked by the keeper but Colby runs down the rebound and fires it back at the Reston goal, past the keeper and into the back of the net. 2-0, Nike Boys with only 12 minutes gone.
The lead was short lived as the Reston Knights pulled back two goals to level the score 2-2 at the half. In the second half the Knights pulled away from the Nike Boys with 2 more goals. Final Score Nike Boys 2 Reston Knights 4.
The Nike Boys State Cup push is over for the Fall of 2009. The Knights were ranked far above our Nike Boys and most people probably assumed this would be a breather for the Knights. The Nike Boys gave them all that they could handle and even though the long drive back home was not a happy one, they gave it their all.
