Game 4 Recap: Bigfoot falls to Steelhead 7-5

In recent years, the games between Bigfoot (formerly Multnomah) and Steelhead (formerly Crease Monkeys) have been a little chippy, but on this day everyone seemed to be on their best behavior. Steelhead broke out to an early three nothing lead despite starting the game with only 10 guys, but the 'foot battled back and closed the gap to 1 goal leading into the fourth quarter.

Early in the fourth quarter Bigfoot had some good looks, but couldn't convert. Steelhead countered and did. The 'foot added the last two goals of the game to narrow the gap, but couldn't catch Steelhead who came away with the win.

The game featured the first goals of the season for Ken Hooton, new player Andy Klumpp and Oregon defenseman Justin Cooley who had two goals from the midfield including a scorcher (?) on man-up.

Game 3 Recap: Bigfoot hangs close but falls to Coopers 10-8

Bigfoot had one of its strongest showing in away games at Coopers in recent years, hanging close until the final moments and really giving Coopers a run for its money. Bigfoot was led by Kyle's goaltending (more saves than we can count) and the Southridge connection of Robert Huber (4 goals) and Paul Voas (2 goals) both making their first appearances for the 'foot this year.

If the ball bounced a different way a couple of times the outcome may have been different. Outstanding post-game comraderie and sportsmanship from both teams as well, we're looking forward to the rematch in a few weeks...

Game 2 Recap: Bigfoot defeats Buckleys in home opener 11-6

Bigfoot came out strong and never looked back, coasting to an 11-6 victory in their home opener over Buckleys. Many of the new Bigfoot players played a big role in the game and the team relied on a balanced scoring attack for this victory. Bigfoot had great numbers (close to 20 players) on the field and at the party afterwards, with a good time had by all. Stellar performance in goal from Kyle and the offense was led by Brian Silcott (4 goals) and Dave Sanford (3 goals, 1 assist).

Game 1 Recap: Linfield 10 Bigfoot 9

So while it literally came down to the final four seconds our first game of the season ended in a loss. After being down 7-3 at halftime we rallied within inches of tying the game, but as a last second effort fell short, we ended up losing 10-9.

After getting off to a slow start, the Bigfoot squad which featured a ton of new players on offense started to gel and really dominated the second half of the game from end to end. Attackmen Cooper Morrow (3 goals) and Dave Sanford (2 goals) each put up five points complemented by balanced scoring from the midfield. All told, seven players found the net on Saturday, and with several of the top guns out of the line up, it shows that there's definitely a bright future ahead for Team Bigfoot.

Goals Assists Points
