Springfield Demize Open PASL Season With Home Win

I’m afraid I had some holiday plans so I missed the home opener but the update provided by the team offers a glimpse at the excitement of a quality indoor match…

First Indoor Game in Springfield History Doesn’t Disappoint

The night belonged to the Springfield Demize from the first whistle. The Demize played as a team from the beginning to the end and never backed down to a more experienced Piasa FC. “Getting out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first quarter was key in the boys’ first indoor game,” goalkeeper Chris Hanlon said. The second period was filled with action with both teams hitting the post, but only 1 goal was scored off a centered ball from Adam Peterson to Eddie Conde. At the end of 3 quarters the Demize led comfortably 5-2. Assistant Coach Sam Blair said “We know the fourth quarter is important in every game, but especially tonight with a lead like that.” Piasa FC didn’t let down in the fourth period, outscoring the Demize 3-2, but making for an exciting finish and historic game in Springfield soccer. The 7-5 win for the Demize gets the team off to a good 1-0 record.

The Demize are on the road next Saturday night in Kansas City at 7:00 PM. The next home game will be January 10 against Fuerza Latina, a new expansion team from Kansas City. Game time is 7:00 PM at the Lake Country Soccer Dome
