HOC and load
(before i begin, i must apologize to those loyal HOC fans who have been left wondering on the team's status the past two weeks. two weeks ago i did not attend the game so i was not able to report on the outcome. i found out tonight that we lost by the mercy rule again. last week was spring break so there was no game. so no suprises, those were saved for tonight. the HOCs record coming into tonight was 0-5-0)
it was another late game tonight, 11.15pm. the campus had long since gone to bed. it was quiet. even the wind decided to take the night off. overall not good conditions for a team still trying to take off. the first half ended like any other HOCs game. we were down 3-0. tonight was different however. we were not going to be shot down with the mercy rule. perhaps it was the goofball halftime pep talk. no one knows. but the second half we came out firing. after 2 quick goals we found ourselves only down 1, but in our excitement we allowed a fluke goal. score 4-2. the HOCs continued their assault to pull back within one but they followed with another goal, 5-3. we scored one final goal with 30 seconds remaining but then the other team dinked around with the ball wasting our chances to tie.
but it was a step in the right direction as the HOCs scored more than 1 goal and did not fall to the mercy rule.
HOCs record: 0-6-0 (very consistent)
