Warriors open up Conference with a Win against Simpson

By: Chase Dodge

Westcliff Warriors hosted Simpson University Redhawks to open conference play. Right from the start Warriors were going to control this game.

The Warriors midfield and backline were not letting any Redhawks through with Simpson going shotless in the 1st half.

Meanwhile, Westcliff were going shot for shot trying to find the back of the net. In the 13th minute Jose Urdiano Morales opened it up with assists from Jordan Di Lonardo and Lucas Rosell.

Warriors extended their lead before halftime with a corner kick sequence that was beautiful to witness. Jordan Di Lonardo from the corner kick quickly passed it to Demitri Rodriquez Robles. Robles passed it right back for a banger from the top of the box from Di Lonardo.

Warriors were not finished when Jose Urdiano Morales found his 2nd goal of the day from Mohamed Sidi Haiba and Jordan Di Lonardo.

Westcliff opened Conference with a dominant win heading into their Norcal Trip next week.

Coaches' Notes

"It was good conference opener for us.  Defensively we played really well and we got a few people back from injuries.  Simpson is a solid team that give us fits in the second half Toby Squire and Janis Hinterleitner played great and I thought Jordan Di Lonardo was dominating in midfield and Jose and Demetri really provided a lot for us going forward." - Head Coach Randy Dodge
