October 4, 1989

The Blanco Lumber and Hardware Ninjas fought to a 1 to 1 tie with the Fredericksburg Racers this past Saturday.

Once again the defense reigned supreme as goalies Jake Primce and Jason Head made outstanding saves on Racer shots.

Defensers Krissi Kennedy, Charles Koch, Sara Evans, and Andrew Stotts Bamberger played their best game yet. Midfielders Matt Norman, Jason Lincoln, Dennis Moore and Rhonda Romero did a good job of keeping the ball in the Racers end of the field.

The Ninjas fell behind 1 to 0 in the 2nd half but the expert passing of forwards Tell Finch and Bryan Webber allowed the ball to get to Jason Head as he scored his first goal of the young season to know the score 1 to 1.

The Blanco Hardware and Lumber Ninjas play this Saturday at 9:45 a.m. in Fredericksburg as they continue their march toward the playoffs.
