Friendly Against Minden Unihawks(18/10/09)

Unihawks 7 - 10 Ztec
(2-4), (2-0), (3-6)

This was the third meeting between this two clubs in 3 months. The first was in the league where Ztec clinch the title with a 18-1 victory. The 2nd, in the recent Rising Star challenge where Ztec came out on top again with a 2-0 win. However this time, it was a much much tighter game.

Unihawks boosted with the arrival of a few European players together with a Canadien player surely did make them a tougher team to play against. With their local players also being more experience now, it wasn't easy this time as it was back them in the league. The 18-1 scoreline was far from sight.

The game started rather fast with both teams on constant attacking. However it was Ztec that found the net first through Daniel Cheah. Unihawks equalized through their own Daniel before Ztec's Samuel Ong brought Ztec up again. At the end of the first period, it was 2-4 to Ztec with goals from Daniel and Jo-Wyee.

The 2nd period was totally dominated by Unihawks. They started off with a 100% press and really caught us off guard. Ztec kept trying to attack but was kept at bay by their on form goalie Dawn Tan. At the end of period 2, it was 2-0 to Unihawks.

Now with the score at 4-4, and Ztec starting the 3rd period with only 4 man because of their captain Ter Min being given a 2 minutes foul, Unihawks were looking to lead this match for the first time. This did not happen, Ter Min after coming out from the penatly bench immediately scored his first goal assisted by Jo-Wyee. Jo-Wyee made 4-6 before Unihawks scored 2 to equalize. With the score at 6-6, tension was rising. A penalty was given to Unihawks. Sarah stood up but failed to concede. The final score was 7-10 to Ztec with goals coming in from Adrian, Ter Min and a double from Jo-Wyee.

The friendly then ended with each teams taking 8 penalty shots. The final score of the penalty was 2-2. Brandon and Samuel was the only one to find the net.
