Springfield Demize – 8
La Fuerza – 2
In front of a crowd of 180, the Demize forced themselves on “La Fuerza” tonight at the Lake Country Soccer Dome. Led by Mike Gow’s 4 goals, the Demize took control midway through the second quarter with 3 goals in 3 minutes, taking a 4-2 lead that they never relinquished.
The visitors scored first this evening, taking advantage of a Demize penalty, scoring with the man advantage. While Springfield came back to take a 2-1 lead, La Fuerza kept it close when they tied it at 2-2, with all of the goals coming during man-advantage situations.
It was Gow (MSU/Lebanon) who got the eventual game winner, when he one-timed a ball that came from the right side to his position just outside the box on the left, and a second a minute later to extend the lead to two midway through the second half. The Demize tightened up their defense and moved to 3-0 on the season with the win.
Goals were scored by Dave Emnett (Drury,SLUH), Kyler Temple (Drury/Kickapoo), Taylor Stacy (Drury/Lincoln NE) and Quincy Conduff (Hendrix/Kickapoo) this evening. Rodolfo Monroy and Jensel Olascoaga scored for La Fuerza (Edwardsville, IL).

It was an exciting game. Lots of goals. Lots of fouls. Plenty of penalties. The Soccer Dome held a solid crowd. A good show all around. A different level of indoor soccer that provides entertainment for Springfield, MO., and Lake Country Soccer.
This was definitely a game that will help to continue bringing back crowds to arena soccer games in our area.
