LIJSL's Gregg Satzinger is reporting from the US Nationals in Phoenix. This game is a tough first draw for Smithtown. Cal-
Fullerton is the #1 ranked team in the country in this age group. Smithtown is #2, but is a town team that has no experience playing in national level tournaments.
With that being said, they weathered the storm well early on. In what has been a fairly evenly played game to this point, Fullerton's only goal came at the 18-minute mark of the first half off the foot of Andres Lemus.
These are two very talented teams, but Arsenal will have to pick up their play in the second half. Now that they are over the 1st half jitters, which were to be expected, hopefully they can get back to pushing the ball forward as they did at the Region I championships.
