Cougs Lose to Italy

Missing the full complement of women (though Deana was present with sprained knee to offer support) and a couple of men, the Cougs fought to a narrow 1-0 loss yesterday at the Grand Street Field. Short on options at the front, we defended tirelessly, and deserved a goal, if not the win.

Next game this Sunday at Stanton Street - 12:30 vs. Salvador-Mexico. Let's close the season with a win!

Game 5 - Sunday, 5/4, 12PM - Stanton Street

Cougs,

Who knew it would come to this? This Sunday we face Italy, the reigning World Cup Champions! Time to shave and polish our domes for some sternum bashing. Alexis, it's your chance to make amends for your countrymen!

5/4 - Cougars v. Italy, 12PM at Stanton Street

CougIN: Sage, Emilio, Kevin, Graham

CougOUT: Abby, Deana

Also for you Cougs who like to plan ahead, our other games are posted on the site.

5/11 - vs. Salvador-Mexico, 12:30PM at Stanton Street
5/18 Playoffs, 12PM or 12:30PM at Grand Street (depending on league finish)

Derby Day

Hey Cougs,

Deana and I were discussing a non-football fieldtrip for this Saturday (5/3) to the racetrack at Belmont park:

In addition to the live races, they will also be simulcasting the races from the Kentucky Derby. Admission's cheap ($2 for grandstand, $5 for clubhouse), you can BYO cooler, and the LIRR goes straight to the track. The Derby is around 6pm, figure we'll head out sometime in the afternoon.

CougIn?

The Rematch! Sunday 4/27 at 11:50am

11:50 AM Pick Pockets VS NY Cougars

CougIN: Sandwich, Annie, Emilio, Graham, Deana, Alexis(h)

CougOUT: Jacks, Sage, Kevin, Abby, Scott, Alex, Jake

Cougars Almost Tie!

Red cards, verbal on-field fights, and a speedy Brooklyn Union team proved too much for the Cougars who ended the game down 4 goals. Theatrical falling by numbers 10 and 13 on the Union team led to amusement, irritation, spitting, and multiple game stoppages as the referee repeatedly pulled yellow and red cards.

Though the win-streak came to an end, the Cougars learned some valuable information: Alex is at a disadvantage when it's 4-on-1 in front of the goal; Sandwich cannot play and talk at the same time; and Graham will slide tackle in a league without slide tackling.

Still, it wasn't all bad for the Cougars. Great saves, some nifty shots on goal, and strong defending kept Team Cougar in the game for 30 minutes. Unfortunately, these are 40 minute games.

Bring it back Cougars, Sunday-style!

Cougar Armour

Who wants a Cougars Jersey?

They are Under Armour tees that can be used for any soccer and non-soccer related activities. #'s and sizes below. Cost = $20-25, depending on shipping and final count. Jerseys will be Black with Columbia Blue lettering. Name and Number on back. Please respond to confirm the name you want on back (e.g.: Mike/Michael/DeMeo/Sandwich?). I need to place the order Monday to get them in time for this season.
