July 12, 2004 - Lucania drops two games to the Spitfire (Lucania SC)

Lucania drops two games to the Spitfire

Lucania made the trip home from South Dakota after losing both games this weekend to the PDL's Sioux Falls Spitfire. The Spitfire, who are currently sitting in 7th place in the Heartland conference, were clearly more polished around the Lucania goal, converting on most of their chances.

Commenting on the weekend's results, coach Kevin Mackay was upbeat with the team's performance stating, "we learned some very valuable lessons this weekend. At this level, you need to have the focus to finish your opportunities. Sioux Falls did, and came away with two results. Despite this, I was happy with our ability to consistently break down such an athletic, organized club."

Game one ended 2-1 with the Lucania goal coming from striker Tim Colisimo.

Game two ended 3-1 with the Lucania goal coming from veteran defender Bill Klymchuck, who converted on a penalty shot.

Lucania (www.leaguelineup.com/lucaniafc) are looking forward to a few less hectic weeks which will give the squad a chance to heal some wounds and prepare for the ever-important month of August which will include the MSA Cup playoff and two home games vs. the Minnesota Blast.
