(continued from the home page)
/>
The Fusion team entered State Cup after a strong season posting of 12-3-0 for the regular season. For the year, Fusion had a record of 21 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, including winning 2 of 3 tournaments the team entered this season. On Saturday the Fusion got off to a fast start with the first goal occurring within 5 minutes of the start of the game. Fusion's Nate Joseph cross kicked to Marco Da Cunha who scored with a crisp header.
The two teams played equally well through the first period and well into the second period, waging a largely mid-field defensive battle. In the final minutes Diablo threatened Fusion's lead with a couple shots on goal that were stopped by the good efforts of the Fusion defense. Nate Huntington was goal keeper for the Fusion. Assistant coaches Iain McNeil and Jason Clark guided the team to victory.
Coach Rick Fullerton's pre-game words to the team proved correct when he said "the Fusion's final game of 2009 will be yet another work of great quality, teamwork and effort. In other words, business as usual. Play hard, play well, play with character and play for one another."
