Boys return from Phoenix
The SC del SOL tournament was great preperation for the upcoming season. The results did not turn out the way we wanted (1 win - 2 ties - 1 loss), but for a team that practices twice a week in a dome playing a first game against a team that practices 3-5 times a week outside in the Las Vegas heat, we looked pretty good. And we only got better as the weekend progressed.
