9/16/00 All Minnesota Tournament

Over this past weekend the mustangs kicked off the fall campaign with the All Minnesota Tournament at the Fort Snelling Polo Grounds in St. Paul Minnesota.  We were put into what could be argued as the toughest bracket in the tournament with Minnesota State, St. Cloud State, and St. Johns.  In our first match against Minnesota State we were scored on early and often in the first half, but in the second half we matched up fairly well with them, unfortunately we were unable to put any points up and were defeated 27-0.  In Match 2 against St. Johns the mustangs faired a little better.  In a very close game between two evenly matched teams we were defeated 10-6. Scoring for the Mustangs was Mike Daugs who converted two penalty kicks.  We played our third and final game against St. Cloud State with absolutely 0 subs available.  In the first half the we kept it close, 10-0.  But on the strength on 5 fresh players the strong St. Cloud team pulled away in the second half.
