The Steelhead took on their closest rivals, the Wolves, in an intense and fast paced match that was well attended, since both teams are local. The beauty of a sunny spring morning in Big Lagoon provided the backdrop, but the drama came courtesy of Humboldt County's best and brightest U-12 boys charging hard for local bragging rights. The younger Steelhead side entered the fray ranked higher, and played with determination to stay there, but it was a well coordinated attack by the Wolves that resulted in the first and only goal of the match.
After the half, the Steelhead side produced more than a half dozen good shots on goal in a concerted effort to equalize, but the pace and strength of a well-oiled Wolves side, along with some very solid goal keeping, was more than enough to leave the score unchanged and the Steelheads frustrated as the match closed 1-0.
But wait! Its not over yet soccer fans. The last match of the season will be a replay of Sunday's match-up as the Wolves and Steelhead have one last go before the long quiet summer build-up to the autumnal return of the beautiful game. To catch the glory in person, report to HSU's Redwood Bowl at 11:00am on Sunday, May 20th. See you there soccer fans!
