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 look to improve winning ways tonight

Published: Thursday, January 3, 2013 2:20 PM CST
The Dallas Sidekicks continued their torrid return campaign Saturday by thumping the Texas Strikers on the road, 16-4, to keep their undefeated season intact at 6-0.


Just two weeks removed from a franchise-record 21 goals scored against Texas, the Sidekicks didn't relent any less in the teams' third meeting of the season. Racing out to a 9-2 advantage by halftime, Jamie Lovegrove scored four goals in the win including a hat trick in the first half.

Franck Mbemba added four goals of his own, while Carlos Videla (2), Michael Uremovich (2), Paolo Da Silva (2), Renato Pereira and Robert Luevano also scored in the win.

Remaining unbeaten on the year, Dallas has now outscored opponents, 57-16, on the season. The team continues play tonight at 7:30 p.m. from the Allen Event Center against the Rio Grande Valley Flash.

The Sidekicks are 2-0 against the Flash thus far, claiming each outing via a 7-3 decision.
