Biggest Offensive Outburst Of Season For Thunderbirds

Head Coach Andrew Guarneri knows goals are hard to come by in ACCAC Soccer. 

He hopes his men's squad didn't didn't use up all of their offensive firepower Wednesday night, October 7 at home against rival Glendale. 

With the 5-2 win, Mesa is now 6-7-1 on the season and in contention for a playoff spot in the region.  The Thunderbirds have six regular season games left prior to the Region I Tournament starting on October 26. 

Abel Corral got things going in the 29th minute.  Travis Brown added a goal in the 51st minute.  Leland Hildebrand scored in the 57th minute. 

Coach Drew knows his team must leapfrog AZ Western and Scottsdale if they hope to grab a playoff berth.  Lucky for them, Scottsdale visits Mesa on October 14, so there is a chance to make an impact directly.
 

Forrest Larson scored on a penalty kick in the 60th minute.  Diyalo Manral finished up the scoring in the 74th minute. 

The team has a mentality where they know every game is crucial.  They know they need to go out and win every game from here on out.  Tonight was a great start. 

The Thunderbirds travel to PVCC on Saturday, October 10 for a 2:30 p.m. start.  The next home contest is next Wednesday, October 14 versus aforementioned Scottsdale.
