Storm takes season series againest Las Vegas Stallions.

  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.
