Recaps :: Game 3 In its third week, Atomic VIPU played its most complete game of the season. Star strikers Dan and Trixie continued their scoring ways; Alex posted the first "wicked" goal of the young season and added a humiliator to boot; and Tara stopped 17 shots in another stellar session between the pipes. All this added up to an 8-5 win and moved VIPU just 3 points behind league leader and rival Wilmer FC (Capital Strikers and Orange Hoos are also tied with VIPU for second place in the standings). However, the week 3 match-up against The Villagers will be remembered for one thing: Will-a-mania. Picking up 3 temper points along the way, Will played this game with a fire not likely to be quenched for the remainder of the season. Will was not the only player to be hassled by "The Big Hack," who kicked, shoved, held and elbowed VIPU players at will (no pun intended). But Will was the only one to rise from the turf after being "Big-Hacked" to the floor, cup his hand to his ear, and slowly turn to all four corners of the arena. However, since no one was watching, there was no swell of support from the crowd. But when Will tore the remainder of his tattered shirt, threw it defiantly to the ground and charged into the opponent's end, VIPU had the wake up call it needed. And they never looked back. All that remains to be seen now is if that hardened spirit and resolve will stay with the team over the two-week league hiatus called for after terror alerts were raised to Orange* - or "High." *Atomic VIPU encourages all Americans to check their duct tape and plastic sheeting supplies. (Author's note) - VIPU veteran Blair wanted to make it clear that, although he really did assist on Alex's wicked volley, he doesn't mind not being included in the official scorekeeper's report, because he's not a numbers guy and isn't concerned with individual glory. Still, he DID assist on that goal and was reported to have called the scorekeeper a "poopy pants."  |
