SPARTANS END WINLESS STREAK

AMAZING TEAM EFFORT A TURNING POINT FOR WIN

Sam scores a Nifty goal!

"When we play as a team," commented Captain J," There's no team out there that can beat us."

This, on the heels of the Spartans commanding performance on the weekend against second place RUST.
Firing on all cylinders, the Spartan offense was impressive, but overshadowed by the determined and gritty defense.

"Baron was sharp in net," said returning Dave," and it really helped us out."

Baron, coming off last week's laugh-fest was exhilarated.
"They [the guys] were doing their job, which made my job so much easier."

In fact, the only goal against the former Bundesliga star came at the 40th minute of play when the ball sailed in and bounced off the stomach of a RUST player.

In the other end, were it not for the actions of their great goaltending, RUST would have been buried. Time and time again our local heroes were on net or off the cross bar.

"It was like a symphony of goal posts," remarked Anders, who had a last minute shot robbed from him by a diving goal-tender.

With the win, the Spartans move up in the standings, although have yet to regain .500 stats.

"We have a few more games until the playoffs," said Captain J," so we'll work on how we worked Sunday. Get the team working as a team. That's the way to win."

DAVE RETURNS!
Ex-Bayern Munchen mid-fielder Dave returned to the Spartans after a month hiatus and his presence was instantly felt on the field.
"It's great to be back. And we got a win in that game back. I guess that means without me this team is crap. Makes me feel good."

MISSING PLAYERS
If anyone has seen Mike or Simon, please contact Captain J. They were last seen on the pitch just before Christmas.

ANDERS IN A SLUMP
After posting some impressive figures, the Spartan forward is in a bit of a slump.
"Not to worry," says Anders,"I'll overtake Captain J and take the Golden Pear.
