Kodiak FC vs Mutiny FC

Kodiak FC hosted Mutiny FC this morning at Alta High School.  The weather was perfect for a morning game in the spring, being 65 degrees, sunny, and a little wind to keep the teams cool.

Parker Howell was first to score a goal, finding the back of the net within the first few minutes of the game.  Kodiak started strong and had great passing chemistry.  Unfortunately, the next goal was Mutiny's.  They claimed their point off of a penalty kick.  Before the half, Kevin Young, of Kodiak FC, was fouled in his offensive box, winning us a penalty kick.  Stephen Phillips took advantage of that opportunity and put Kodiak FC up 2-1 before the half.

In the second half, Kodiak continued to have good passing and defense, as did Mutiny FC.  Kevin Young had a great cross into the offensive box.  Josh Kimball, who was lurking in the area, came in with a great touch on the ball and scored.

Both teams were playing strong and had great defense, almost seemingly leaving the score at 3-1.  But, Mutiny FC was not done.  They had the next goal putting them just 1 goal away from equalizing the game.

Before the end of the game, Kodiak FC was fouled, once again, in the offensive box earning yet another penalty kick.  One of Mutiny's defenders took Stephen Phillips feet out from behind.  Scott Burrows took the ball to the bottom right corner of the net and brought Kodiak up 4-2.

Mutiny FC's offense did test Kodiak's defense, but Mike Erekson, Mark Stoker, Danny Duke, Greg Phillips, along with keeper Rock Christeson, were not to be reckoned with.  "We are always looking forward to a good game when we play Mutiny FC," said one of Kodiak's defenders, Greg Phillips.  "Mutiny FC plays hard the whole game and we knew we had to be on top of our offense and defense."

Kodiak FC is happy to have their second win of the season, making it (2-0).  Their next game is on Saturday, May 4th, at time and location to be announced soon.
