Posted Jan 19/12 - Varsity falls in final minutes to Nimitz
Cy Fair Bobcats lost a tight battle against Nimitz 3-2 in their first game of the Aldine Tournament. The Bobcats got on the scoreboard first off a great through ball to Tyler Anselmi who promptly slid the ball past an attacking goalkeeper. Nimitz came out very aggressive in the second half scoring just 1 minute into the period to knot the game 1-1. Nimitz had ball possession for a good portion of the second period and finally netted one of their scoring opportunities to go up 2-1. The Bobcats continued their scrappy play and were rewarded a penalty kick when Adonis Pinto was taken down in the box. Andrew Tang converted the penalty kick to tie the score 2-2. Cy Fair continued to withstand Nimitz offensive pressure until Nimitz scored with just four minutes left to take a 3-2 lead.
Cy Fair will next play Aldine High School, Friday 7pm at Aldine Middle School.
