Sidewinders, Crims game called in second half

San Luis soccer coach Ian McDougall said he doesn't consider his team the winner of Thursday's game at Yuma, which was called due to rain with 22:36 left and the Sidewinders leading 3-2.

He said the Sidewinders are just the team that was winning when the refs called the game. However he looks at it, it's a victory for San Luis against a late-surging Yuma High team.

Raul Ordorica and Javier Espinoza gave the Sidewinders an early 2-0 lead, then an Erick Gamez goal put them up 3-1. Yuma got to within a goal just before the game was called.

“I think any goalkeeper in our region makes that save,” McDougall said of Yuma High's last goal. “But our guy just lost it in the downpour and it went in off the far goalpost.”

It still counts as win for San Luis heading into a big game Wednesday at Kofa. Game time is at 4 p.m.

“It was bittersweet,” McDougall said of Thursday's game. “I told the kids after the game that I don't consider this a victory. We just happened to be leading at the time the refs decided to end the game. ... But at the end of the day, it was a safety issue and the field was unplayable.”

Hawks edge Rams

Jordan Mitchell added 18 for the Raiders, while Brian Dixon added 20 for Yuma High. Actavio Rios scored 14 for the Criminals, and Quentin Barley had 13.

“We just got outplayed today,” Criminal coach Chris Turner said. “We were coming in on a hot streak, winning our last two at the Rotary Classic. But we were lackadaisical today. Cibola was the better team clearly.”

The Raiders had a small lead after the first quarter, which Cibola coach Tim Keller said his team has had trouble with this season.

“We're not coming out very quickly in the first quarter. We play great in the second half.”
