Stags Defeat Cross Street Rivals

The CMS Stags won a thriller this Wednesday against their cross-street rival Pomona-Pitzer. The game was hard fought on both sides of the ball, but the Stags managed to put in the extra effort as Eric Bean (SO, Waukee, IA) scored the only goal of the game with 1:43 left to play. David Taylor (FR, Brookline, MA) exemplified his blazing speed as he took his defender down the line and lofted in a cross far post to Ian Anderson (JR, San Francisco) who redirected the ball to Bean’s head. Defensively, the Stags were very strong posting their first shutout of the season. A standout defensive effort was put in by Christian Paullin (SO, Palos Verdes) who put his mark on the game with his brutish tackling. Goalkeeper Ryan Fahey (SR, Bellevue, WA) kept the score even in the first half by coming up big with a breakaway save. The Stags fought hard throughout the game and are on their way to their goal of reclaiming the Golden Boot.

CMS hopes to move forward with their momentum this Saturday as they take on defending SCIAC champs, Redlands, at 11 AM on Pritzlaff field.
