Crater loss...

I played with Crater last night and we lost to North Medford 7-5.  It was a good game, pretty close the whole time.  I had lots of playing time, and a couple of nice shots and centering passes, but no points.  As noted in the article from the Mail Tribune, Crater had goals from 5 different players.  North Medford got 5 of their 7 goals from 2 players who double roster with the Southern Oregon Spartans, our local Tier III Junior A team.  I don't feel too bad about losing to Junior A players, and I like the fact that lots of our kids get in on the scoring!

Here's the write up from the paper and video from last night's news broadcast.  (I am in the very bottom right hand corner of the screen at the beginning of the video preparing for the face off.  You can just see me as the video starts.)

From the Medford Mail Tribune:

NORTH MEDFORD 7, CRATER 5 — Keegan Healy picked up a hat trick and Trevor Perry added a pair of goals to lead North Medford to the Southern League win at The RRRink.

Crater got balanced scoring with five different scorers in Bryce Crawford, Daniel Gomez, Dustin Gomez, Thomas Gambel and John Ryan Keyser. That same group had one assist, with Thomas McGee also notching an assist.

North goalie Eric Skogseth earned the win with 25 saves.
