  Santa Clarita, California - The Storm moved in Saturday night to the city of lights, late night entertainment and money! money!! money!!! - Las Vegas Nevada. Las Vegas is home of the Las Vegas Stallions  F.C. The Storm's first trip to "Sin City", the Storm were looking to pick up three points needed to keep up with F.C Hasental in a battle for the top
spot in the standings. Gambling on a early goal, The Storm knew that would be enough to secure the win, and it was as the Storm edged a much improved Vegas team 1-0.

Tyler Coombes Forward

The Storm entered the game with 13 points in a three way tie with F.C Hasental , O.C Pateadores, and only one point ahead of the San Diego Flash. So the three points were important for the Storm to come home with. It was a much improved Stallions F.C team with a record of  1-1-6, they came out very strong and much more organized. The first 20
minutes of the game was played mostly in the middle of the field, until the 23rd minute when the Storm had a throw-in from 20 yards out when midfielder Juan Camacho took the throw and directed it to forward Tyler Coombes and before it hit the ground Coombes volleyed the ball right into the far post, leaving the Stallions 'keeper Julio Garcia with nothing
he could do about it.  Coombes gave his team a one goal lead which turned out to be the winning goal as well. Most of the first half was controlled by the Storm who had posted 8 shots on target compared to the Stallions 4.
  

Miguel Lopez-Goal Keeper

     The Second half rode on the Storm's defense and goalkeeper. The Stallions came out strong and hungry as they turned the control of the game around and started to press on the defense of the Storm with 4 shots directly on goal with in the first 15 minutes of play. All opportunities were turned away however with some excellent reactionary saves from Storm's
'keeper Miguel Lopez keeping the Storm out in front. The Stallions came at the Storm continuously through the half, but it was the player of the game - Joel Gunterman (defensive midfielder) who came up big with stopping most attempts by the home team to penetrate  the midfield. "We are trying, but we just cannot get by you" said Stallions head coach Alfred Hoviss to Gunterman while taking a throw-in in front of the team bench.

Storm wind three in a row with 2-1 victory over F.C. Hasental

  Santa Clarita, California - It was a battle for first place as the Storm (2-1-0) looked to take first and an undefeated F.C Hasental (2-0-1) looked to maintain the top seed. The Storm have a knack for breaking an opponent's winning streak, as they did with the Flash at the end of last season in the last game of last season when the Storm broke an entire undefeated season away from them, and looked to nip Hasental's streak
in the bud Saturday night at Harry Welch Stadium in Canyon High School, and did so in a 2 - 1 win!
        The action started at the opening whistle and no more than 3 minutes into the half Hasental fouled the Storm in there offensive third of the field, at the 23 yard line, earning F.C.S.C a free kick. Alex Harlley of the Storm stepped forward to take the kick, and like a shot out of a gun he fired a shot that landed right into the hands of Terry Mitchell - the Hasental net-minder. Hasental responded quickly off of a free kick they
were awarded with a shot that was just shy of the target. It was the 14th minute when Tyler Coombes caught a ball at the 16 yard line & volleyed it out of the air and slammed it past Mitchell & into the back of the net, giving his team lead early in the game.
 The remainder of the first  half was a balanced effort on the part of both teams leaving it at 1-0 as the two teams made their way into the second half of play.

Tyler Coombes Player of the game

       The already aggressively offensive Hasental was expected to come on strong in the second half with the current game and their unbeaten streak at stake. But it was in fact The Storm who dominated as no more than two minutes into the half Forward Tyler Coombes found a break through the Hasental defense and put his team ahead by two. It was a counter attack off of the opening kick-off when Andreas Bueno (last week's Player of the Game) intercepted the ball at midfield, allowing the Hasental defenders to quickly close in on him & leaving a wide open Coombes to break free and through to the net to get the insurance goal. Coombes picked up his second goal of the game and his 3rd on the year, giving him a total of 7 points on the season, with his assist included.       Hasental had sparks of attempts through out the second half but second half sub (goalkeeper) Miguel Lopez; who came in to replace starter Aaron Perez, managed to turn each and every attempt away, collecting himself 6 saves in the half.The one goal for Hasental was scored by substitution Leu Luciap on a penalty kick in the
80th minute, after Lopez connected with the face of Hasental's Manuel Cazares when attempting to punch the ball out of the box off of a cross. The center official decided that because Miguel came out to punch the ball with a closed fist instead of an open hand that a Penalty Kick should be rewarded, and so Hasental was able to erase the clean sheet.The Storm would like to wish a quick recovery to Manuel and we regret this very
unfortunate accident. The Storm now maintain a 3-0-1 record with 9 points.They are currently one point out of 1st behind the undefeated Patadores who took over 1st place last Saturday defeating the San Diego Boca 8 - 0! .... Guess who's in the eye of the Storm now?
The Storm will face Boca next week in San Diego and will return home May 11th to face the Las Vegas Stallions F.C. (0-3-1) for the second time at Harry Welch Stadium.This will be a later kick off at 6p.m.A full schedule and stats can be located on the Storm website: www.FCSCProSoccer.com
