WEB EXCLUSIVE: Better for it: Lions soccer tackles obstacles

The season may have just started, but the McKinney Lions soccer team is battling through various adversities already. The team is stronger for it though, as they refuse to let their obstacles set them back in any way.

"I think we're right on schedule," said Alan Pocock, Lions head coach. "We're dealing with more injuries right now than we have in previous seasons. It's usually after the second tournament when the legs start to feel it. It was a pretty rugged opening-weekend tournament for us."

The Lions are 3-1-1 on the season as they enter the Little Elm Invitational, which runs from Thursday through Saturday.

Sidekicks enjoy sweet revenge

Published: Saturday, January 12, 2013 10:12 PM CST
Behind a stellar effort in goal from Sagu, the Dallas Sidekicks avenged their only loss of the season with a convincing 6-2 thumping of the Chicago Mustangs in front of 4,015 delighted fans Saturday at the Allen Event Center.


The Sidekicks (9-1) strengthened their hold on their PASL Central Division lead over Chicago (9-3) following their 8-7 overtime defeat to the Mustangs last week in Chicago.

Sidekicks Coach Tatu said the win was much more important than just the revenge factor.

"They are a difficult team to play against," he said. "They work hard and they are physical, so I thought we did well.

"This was big tonight," Tatu said, noting the upcoming schedule featuring two games against undefeated San Diego, along with a date at Southwestern Division leader Las Vegas. "We have to make sure we continue to win games if we want to get in the playoffs and have home field [advantage]."
