Mikael Mendez (Tejanos 88 girls) 1st debut for the Rochester Rhinos netted a Goal


Rochester, NY)... The Rochester Rhinos Women commanded the pitch at PAETEC Park tonight in a 3-1 win over the Western Mass Lady Pioneers. The Rhinos' home opener set the tone for what should be an outstanding 2008 Rhinos season.

Rochester controlled the pace of the first half offensively, taking 12 shots and facing only six. The Rhinos first goal of the season came in the 22nd minute when forward Amanda Janosky sent a header across the length of the goal into the right side. Janosky's first career goal was soon met by her second as she struck again in the 35th off of a pass from Rhinos' forward Brittany Kinmond.

The Rhinos entered the second half with quite a bit of momentum from the 2-0 lead, keeping a large portion of the half in the offensive zone. Despite the momentum, the Pioneers managed to decrease their deficit with an unassisted goal off the foot of midfielder Holly Tyser in the 67th minute.

In the 83rd minute, Rochester sent in Mikael Mendes as a substitute for forward Amy O'Sullivan. The substitution proved fruitful in the following minute as Mendes netted a header off of the boot of Janosky to seal the Pioneer's fate. Rhinos' goalkeeper Joy McKenzie kept the net on lockdown, playing hard all 90 minutes while facing 10 shots in the victory.

The Rhinos women hit the road next week to take on the Hamilton Avalanche on Sunday, June 1st at 7:00 p.m. The ladies will return home for a Saturday matinee on June 7th at 4:00 p.m. against the Vermont Lady Voltage.

 

 
 
88 DFW Tejano Report 

 

This is my last report of the season.  I would like to thank everyone for letting me ramble on about our guys this fall.  I am so proud of all of them and I am already looking forward to the Spring Season.  Until then, I will continue to keep everyone up to date on any news from time to time.  If anyone has any new that they want to get out or would like for be added or deleted from the list, please let me know.

 

I was fortunate enough to get down to Kerrville on Saturday to Watch Schreiner play Mississippi College and the Ozarks play Hardin Simmons in the semi-finals of the ASWC Tournament.  Although Schreiner and the Ozarks could not overcome 1 goal deficits, I couldn’t have been more proud of all of our guys.  I may be biased, but I believe Nick, Daniel, Ernest, Jorge, Brandon and Matt were the best players on the field.  Nick made unbelievable save after unbelievable save to only allow 3 goals.  Mississippi was not going to let Ernest beat them again after he scored a hat trick against them last week.  As seen in the picture, he was doubled and tripled teamed all day.  Jorge scored the opening goal and won every 50-50 ball as he always does.  Daniel held down the defense and showed his leadership and non-stop hustle for the whole match. 

Brandon worked as hard as he always does and created several scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates down to the final whistle.  Matt came off the bench and provided a spark to the offense with his hustle, strength and determination.  Not only all that, but it gave me the opportunity to catch up with the all of the parents.  Everyone is doing great and, like me, they all miss everyone.  Due to the weather, I was not able to take as many pictures as I would have liked, but I am attaching one of each of the guys I got to see play.

 

Ryan Spence – Midwestern State

The Mustangs went 1-1-0 in the Regional Tournament by defeating Incarnate Word on Friday by a score of 2-0 and losing to the defending Champions, Ft.

88 DFW Tejano Report 

 

Some of the teams played their last regular season games this weekend and the others will play theirs this week.  It has been a good first year for all of the players and most of the schools finished with improved records.  As I said several weeks ago, the race to host the American Southwest Conference Tournament will go down to the wire.  UTD, Schreiner and the Ozarks are all in a battle along with Mississippi and Hardin Simmons to finish as the top seed.  UT Tyler holds the best record, but is not eligible to host this season.  I will never pull against any of our guys, but I am hoping for UTD or Schreiner to come out on top so I can see some of the matches the first weekend in November.  I can even get to Abilene if Hardin Simmons wins, but Clarksville, Arkansas or Clinton, Mississippi might be just a little too far for me.

88 DFW Tejano Report 

 

On Tuesday, I was able to get out and see the UTD Comets match against Southwestern University .  I did not get to talk to Camron or Russell though.  Russell was used as a substitute at right midfield and he played about 40 minutes in the match.  He looked good (even with the short hair) and the Comets were able to pull out a 1-0 victory on a goal in the 88th minute.

Ryan Spence – Midwestern State

The biggest win of the week goes to Midwestern as they knocked off number 1 ranked and defending NCAA II champions Ft. Lewis on Friday by a score of 3-1 in Wichita Falls .  I am a believer in the old adage “To be the Champ, you have to beat the Champ”, so hats off to the Mustangs.   It was the first loss for Ft. Lewis since the 2004 season.  They then defeated Colorado School of Mines on Sunday by a score of 1-0 on a goal in the 88th minute.  Those two wins should help boost their confidence through the conference and in to the National Tournament.

In a battle of ACC Powerhouses, the Blue Devils visited the 3rd ranked Maryland Terrapins on Saturday and could not overcome an early goal in a 0-1 loss.  Chances are these two will see each other again in the conference tournament.  You might want to set your TiVo if that happens.

88 DFW Tejanos Boys Report

 

 It was another good week for the 88 Tejanos. Their College teams went a combined 13-7-2 in last week's games. One of the most interesting things is the action in the American Southwest Conference. We have nine players competing for four different Universities in the Conference. Although their beating up on each other doesn’t help our combined record, it certainly makes for some interesting matches. After the opening week of Conference play, UT Tyler is showing why they were chosen the preseason favorite, but Schreiner, UTD, and the Ozarks aren’t quite ready to concede the championship just yet. It looks like that will be a battle through the Conference Tournament. Best of luck to all in that one.

 

Alex Torda - University of Dayton

Alex and the Dayton Flyers went to Albuquerque to play Tulsa and Number 1 ranked SMU in the TLC Plumbing and Utility Invitational. The Flyers opened the Tournament on Friday by soundly defeating Tulsa by a score of 3-0. Although Alex would be the last to admit it, I know this game had to have special meaning for him and he must be happy with the result. Dayton then battled the Number 1 ranked SMU Mustangs and gave them all they wanted Sunday before falling 0-1 despite out shooting the Mustangs 18-14. Alex seems to have been firmly planted as the starter in the central midfield. Dayton has conference games against local rival Wright State and Xavier scheduled for this weekend .

 

Andrew Bordelon – Drury University

The Drury Panthers took their undefeated record to Kansas City last week to take on a Rockhurst team that they had never defeated in ten tries. The Panthers came away with a huge 1-0 road victory on a goal in the 88th minute. The win helped boost their confidence going in to Friday’s game against Conference foe Indianapolis University. After taking a 2-0 lead in to half time, Drury’s youth started to show a little but they were able to hold on for a 3-2 victory. They then defeated winless St. Josephs on Monday by a score of 6-1. After their first ever appearance in the National Rankings last week at number 20, Drury is ranked 6th in the Nation this week. They are the last undefeated team in the Great Lakes Valley Conference with a 5-0-0 conference record and an overall record of 8-0-2. All of that may be short lived, but it is quite an accomplishment for a team that won 7 games last year and only 4 in 2004. Andrew is one of five freshmen that have started all ten games and he has settled in as the right midfielder. The Panthers go on the road to face Quincy University on Friday and 21st ranked Southern Illinois at Edwardsville on Sunday.

The Schreiner Mountaineers split a pair of games this weekend. They defeated McMurray on Friday by a score of 1-0.

In a heartbreaker on Saturday, defending Conference Champion Hardin Simmons escaped with a 1-0 victory on a goal with only 90 seconds remaining in the second overtime. The two teams have developed quite a rivalry. Ernest is starting at forward and has 2 goals in 2 assists for a total of 6 points. Jorge is starting in the midfield and has recorded 2 shots. They are joined by Nick in goal and Daniel as a defensive midfielder to give Schreiner a line up with four 88 Tejanos.
