The Storm Continues to Rain Down on the South West Division with a 2-1 Win Over Southern Rival The San Diego Flash

Santa Clarita, California- Saturday night at Del Norte High School in San Diego was the scene of a re-match from the 2012 season, where the Storm spoiled a potentially undefeated season for the Flash by beating them in Santa Clarita for the final game of the 2012 season. Saturday night was also the first meeting for these two teams here on the 2013 season. The Flashes were hosting and coming off of a 2-0 loss to the L.A
Pateadores last week on the road. The Flash was hoping for a victory in front of their home town fans for the first time this season. However it was the Storm again who spoiled things for the Flash as the Storm scored two goals in the first 33 minutes of the game and made it stand as the Storm beat the Southern rivals 2-1 in front of a Flash home town crown of about 200 fans!

opportunities for the Storm to not only secure the team the win, but also secure him-self the Player of the Game for the night.Bueno needed no more than seven minutes before seeing his first scoring opportunity.
 Storm's Alex Harlley almost had one of his own from 22 yards out. He earned himself a hard shot after carrying the ball though several Flash midfielders and defenders. To no success, the shot was a direct shot into the waiting arms of Nicolas Harpel the Flash Goalkeeper. No more than 12  minutes later (19th Minute) Andres Bueno received a pass form the right side of the field as Mauricio Harrie slid it through to a poised Bueno who bent a shot around Harpel hitting the far post and ricocheting in to capture the first goal of the game. Storms defenders steppecd up and turned away manny opportunities by the Flash
maintaining no more than one (1) shot on target for the entire first half. In the 33rd minute Alex Harlley carried the ball down the right side about 25 yards out and managed a through pass threading the Flash defenders to reach Bueno once again who quickly slipped it passed the reach of a stretched out Harpel for the his second goal and what was to be the game winner. 
The second 45 minutes was the Flash that managed to come back just three minutes into the second half to come within one after a maylay of players in front of the Storm net and the home team got one passed Perez. But again the Storm controlled most of the game even with the attempt of sevearl shots on target.
