Game Summary
Spruce Creek has averaged 8 goals per game against the Titans and scored 24 goal in 3 game last year, University was out to change that stat and shift the perception of who the Titans are. From the beginning, the Titans dominated and took the early lead in the opening minutes off of a volley from the top of the 18 yard box from Senior Erick Sierra and closed out the first half leading 3-2 with goals from Sophomores Bradley Sisk and Miguel DeLeon. The Titans were told to keep up the intensity, the pressure and above all don't sit back and just play defense. Those words went unheeded either due to fatigue or youthful inexperience. The Titans sat back and the results were two, in what could only be described as amazing second half goals by Spruce Creek to give them the 4-3 win. For 4 year the University Titans have been shouting the team mantra, RESPECT; before and after every game, on Wednesday November 5, 2014 they finally got it. Spruce Creek 4 - University 3
