Dynamite Shot Down by B-52's in the Arena Soccer US Open

The Denver Dynamite, who has participated in all but one U.S. Open Arena Soccer Championships, faced off against their first professional adversary since their pro era (2008-10); the PASL expansion, Wichita B-52s indoor soccer team who claimed a 15-6 win Saturday at Hartman Arena in front of a crowd of 1,497 spectators.

 Down 3-2 after the first quarter, then after trading goals in the second quarter, the Dynamite allowed Wichita to go on a 6-1 run to trail 10-4 at the half. Wichita added three unanswered goals in the third quarter before the Dynamite broke the scoring drought 12 seconds into the fourth quarter on an Avery restart at the top of the goal arc.

 “Wichita B-52's were great hosts. The arena was awesome and the atmosphere was great. We talked about weathering storms during the game. We knew going in we were the underdog and would have to play pretty flawless to have a chance. A lot of nerves showed in the first 5 minutes and put us into a 2 goal hole. We rebounded nicely though to make it 3-2 at end of 1st. Our 2nd quarter was bad all together. We put ourselves in a big hole at half being down 10-4” Coach Jay Hamilton said. “We talked at half about just competing and trying to win each quarter. The score line wasn't in our favor I felt we played very good and we can take many things out of this game. My guys competed against a very good experienced team and except for one quarter competed well.”

Denver’s, Tony Avery scored three goals for a hat trick in addition to his assist. George Hunt and Luke Burgard each added a goal, while Captain Travis Carey tallied both a goal and an assist. Also on the board with two assists each were Michael Lind and Sterling Copeland.

For Wichita, Heviel Cordoves scored four goals to lead the B-52s. Nathan Aragano Lima Modesto scored three goals with three assists for the B-52s. Brent Hobson added two goals with an assist. Kevin Jackson scored two goals. Larry Martinez scored a goal with two assists. Matt Clare and Brady Bryant each scored a goal with an assist. Alex Mosely also scored a goal.

Jordan Howes had 22 saves for Denver while Nathan Keith had nine saves for Wichita.

 “We will hopefully take these experiences gained and move toward trying to win our league and go to nationals. We know we still have a lot of work to do but we will keep moving forward to get better.” Coach Hamilton

Depleted Dynamite Roster No Match for a Full Blizzard

The Denver Dynamite may have been eliminated from the playoffs the weekend prior to this past one, but they still had a chance to play spoiler to the Colorado Blizzard and send the expansion FC Denver packing to the National Finals in San Diego.

Even before this match was reduced to a spoiler, the Dynamite were looking continue their dominance over the Blizzard this year and send the regular season out with a BANG by signing a former MVP with three MISL (Major Indoor Soccer League) championships under his belt, former player/coach Chris “Solo” Handsor, for the remainder of the season (and for a possible post season at the time).

But the “Force” was not with the Dynamite as they ended the season on a 2 game slide starting with the loss of Chad Pearson and Josh Elbaum due to injury in the weeks before.  Adding insult to injury, Sean Stedeford, Roby Monroe and Mark Cromie turned on top of a flight issue that prevented Handor from making it to the game.

After allowing 3 goals in the first quarter, the Dynamite appeared to have gotten thing under control in the 2^nd as they not only doubled the Blizzard with shots on goal, but also shut them down completely and head into the lockers still only down 3-0.

Missing a veteran crew in the back proved detrimental in the third period to the Dynamite as time after time they found themselves unable to mark the back post let alone clear many of goal keeper Garrison Goodener’s initial saves.  With 3:13 remaining in the match, Denver would finally stop the bleeding, and end the Blizzard shutout with a Tony Thomas Power Play Goal off a human Wall Pass from Tony Avery to George Hunt.

The Dynamite will still see action on Sunday, March 3^rd at 6:00PM as they are set to host the first annual All Star Game at the Apex Field House. Appearing on the North roster for the Dynamite are Garrision Goodner, Jay Hamilton, Tony Thomas, Tony Avery, Mike Ogletree, Josh Elbaum and Travis Carey.

Dynamite Postseason Hopes Dashed in Do-or-Die Loss to FC Denver

Last Friday night at the Westminster Sports Center, the Dynamite were hoping that 3 times would be a charm in their rematch versus FC Denver, a match they could not lose if they wanted to remain in the championship hunt. 

FC Denver would jump out of the gate quickly, with Ben Donovan and Ryan Tuomi combining on the first two goals. Tuomi scored the first with 12:48 remaining, and Donovan the second at 3:06.  With 38 seconds remaining, Joel Miller finished off a deflected Ryan McAleer shot to put FC Denver up 3-0. 

The Dynamite would come alive in the second quarter, receiving a great opportunity when FC Denver was awarded their 6^th foul with 8:42 remaining.  The Dynamite generated numerous opportunities during a textbook power play.   Near the end of the two minutes Tony Thomas found Javier Larios at the top of the arc, and Larios put the Dynamite on the board.  With 5:02 remaining, Mark Cromie scored off a Free Kick to cut the score to 3-2.  After numerous opportunities and a dominant second quarter, things looked promising for the Dynamite going into the half.

In the second half the floodgates would open.  FC Denver opened up the scoring early in the third with an Ian Marcheshi goal, assisted by Ben Donovan.  Down 4-2 the Dynamite faced and killed a power play, and for a brief period it looked like they were still in the match.  Then Tyler Wilson assisted on a Grant Lundberg goal at 7:41, and Edgar Olivas scored at 5:15 to give FC Denver a comfortable 6-2 lead. 

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, a Dynamite mistake would result in a Ben Donovan goal (assisted by Goalkeeper AJ Fleisher).   Ben Donovan would score yet again with 11:38 remaining, assisted by Ben Stump.  Less than a minute later Stump would assist on another goal, this time by Joel Miller.  The six straight goals gave FC Denver a commanding 9-2 lead.  With 8:06 remaining Justin Ferguson touched in a Jay Hamilton pass to cut the score to 9-3, although it was too little too late for the Dynamite. 

Ben Donovan led the FC Denver attack with 2 goals and 2 assists.  Joel Miller also had 2 goals.   Ryan Tuomi had 1 goal and 1 assist.   Justin Ferguson, Javier Larios, and Mark Cromie were the goal scorers for the Dynamite.  AJ Fleisher starred again in goal for FC Denver, with 37 saves and only 3 Goals Allowed.  Jordan Howes pulled in 34 saves for the Dynamite.  

The loss eliminates the Dynamite ahead of their final regular season match against the Colorado Blizzard this Saturday at 8:30pm, at the APEX Field House in Arvada.  The match will see the one game return of Chris Handsor, who starred for the Dynamite in their PASL-Pro days.  The Dynamite can also play spoiler, as the Blizzard need a win or tie to claim the Rocky Mountain Division title.  A win by the Dynamite means the title goes to FC Denver.  

FC Denver Defuses the Dynamite Again, 8-3

                In the second meeting with their new inner city rivals FC Denver, the Dynamite looked to avenge their only loss of the season and keep pace with the Colorado Blizzard for first place.   

                FC Denver opened the scoring in the first minute with a Tyler Wilson goal.  A defensive stalemate would ensue for the remainder of the half, with both clubs having equal number of opportunities.  It was still anyone’s game, as FC Denver went into the half with a 1-0 lead.  

                The second half would open with another FC Denver goal in the first minute, by Brady Yarletts.  A Travis Carey Blue Card gave FC Denver a power play, which they capitalized on with 10:50 remaining as Ian Marcheschi assisted Joel Miller.  Less than a minute later Alex Aguirre would knock home another Marcheschi pass to give the Green Machine a 4-0 lead.  The Dynamite would finally score with 8:22 remaining in the third, as Tony Thomas put a Justin Ferguson pass past the keeper.  Shane Wheeler rounded out the third quarter scoring (assist by Alex Aguirre) to give FC Denver a commanding 5-1 lead.  

                In the fourth quarter, a boarding penalty by Travis Carey followed by the Dynamite’s 6^th team foul gave FC Denver a two man advantage at 12:30.  The 5-3 advantage resulted in Shane Wheeler’s second goal for FC Denver, assisted by Raul Elias.  The 6-1 lead would last up to the 4:52 mark, when Tony Thomas scored his second goal for the Dynamite (assist by Joey Covillo) to trim the lead to 6-2.  The final minute of the match saw 3 goals, by FC Denver’s Raul Elias (assist by Ryan McAleer), the Dynamite’s Josh Elbaum, and FC Denver’s Brandon Best, to end the scoring at 8-3.  The FC Denver win vaults them into second place, and drops the Dynamite into third.  

                With two matches remaining, the Dynamite must get the FC Denver monkey off their back as they face the Green Machine for the third and final time, this Friday night at 8:30pm at the Westminster Sports Center.   The Dynamite now sit a full game behind the Colorado Blizzard, and must win this match if they hope to stay within striking distance of the Blizzard for their season finale.  

Dynamite Double Up Cavalry, 10-5

The Denver Dynamite took on the CSC Cavalry in a must win match, in order to keep pace with the two clubs ahead of them in the standings.  After almost 10 minutes with no score, Midfielder Justin Ferguson would open up the scoring for the Dynamite, assisted by Tony Thomas.  With 1:23 remaining in the first quarter, Josh Elbaum would knock home a Travis Carey pass to give the Dynamite a 2-0 lead.  

The Cavalry would open up the second quarter with an Eduar Rodriguez goal, cutting the lead to 2-1 with 11:45 remaining in the half.  Mike Ogletree would connect on a Javier Larios pass with 7 minutes remaining, and Greg Borchers knocked in a rebound to close out the half, with the Dynamite leading 4-1. 

In the third quarter, the offense would explode on both sides.  Only 20 seconds in, Francisco Evora would score for the Cavalry, assisted by Pete Randall.  Travis Carey would answer for the Dynamite 2 minutes later.  With 10:28 remaining, Javier Larios would score off a steal/breakaway, extending the Denver lead to 6-2.  The clubs would trade goals for the remainder of the quarter.  Pete Randall for the Cavalry (8:45 left), Travis Carey for the Dynamite (off a rebound with 7:15 left), and Beto Hernandez for the Cavalry (Assist by Eduar Rodriguez with 3:05 left), making the score 7-4 Dynamite after 3. 

Early in the fourth quarter, the Dynamite received their 6^th foul, giving the Cavalry a power play.  Not only would the Dynamite kill it, but Luke Burgard would score a shorthanded goal right at the end of the two minutes, extending the Denver lead to 8-4.  With 7:35 remaining Tony Thomas received a Blue Card to give the Cavalry a second power play.  This time they would capitalize immediately with a Beto Hernandez free kick goal.  This would cut the margin to 3 goals, and the Dynamite would respond with another Javier Larios goal with 4:56 on the clock.   Denver would finish out the scoring with a Jay Hamilton power play goal (assist by Tony Avery) to win 10-5.

Javier Larios had a breakthrough match for the Dynamite with 2 goals and 1 assist.  Travis Carey also had 2 goals and 1 assist in a team effort for the Dynamite, who had 8 other players with one goal apiece.  Beto Hernandez led the Cavalry with 2 goals and 1 assist.  Dynamite Goalkeeper Garrison Goodner led the game in the save department, with 21.  The win moves the Dynamite into second place, just in time for a showdown with the league leading Colorado Blizzard, late this Saturday in Colorado Springs at 10:40pm.  A Dynamite victory would put them in a tie for first, and a loss would put them two games down with only three remaining.      

Dynamite and Blizzard Draw in a 4-4 Thriller

On Saturday night the Dynamite hosted the league leading Colorado Blizzard in their home opener, in front of around 350 fans at the APEX Fieldhouse.  The Dynamite came out fighting, looking much sharper than they did in their league opener against FC Denver.  After having the majority of the opportunities in the first quarter, the Dynamite were the first to get on the board with a Tony Avery goal, assisted by Robert Garcia with two minutes remaining.   

In the second quarter, the Colorado Blizzard would strike back in a big way, showing why they are the defending division champions and current leaders.   Mitch Lobdell got it started for the Blizzard, evening the score 1-1 with 10:30 left on the first half clock.  Four minutes later with the Blizzard attack now in full force, Jesus Ramirez with his back to the goal, deflected in a blistering John Molet shot off the inside of his leg to give the visitors their first lead.  Only a minute later Eric Goldberg would score, assisted by Clayton Zelin to extend the Blizzard lead to 3-1.  With three minutes remaining in the half, Jesus Ramirez would give the Blizzard a 4-1 lead.  Going into the break, it appeared that Colorado had all the momentum. 

Only four and a half minutes into the third quarter, the Dynamite received their sixth team foul and would have to kill a 2 minute penalty.   As time ran out on the Blizzard power play, Tony Avery sprinted off the bench to receive a Mike Ogletree pass on his way to scoring a breakaway goal.  The third quarter would end without another score. However the Dynamite had chipped away at the lead, trailing 4-2.  

After killing a Dynamite power play at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Blizzard would be awarded a second penalty after a Jay Hamilton blue card, only to have Mike Ogletree steal a Blizzard pass and score a breakaway shorthanded goal with 11:40 remaining on the clock.  Not only did the Dynamite kill the power play, but they now found themselves within one goal.  With 4:09 remaining, Blizzard Forward Michael Archuleta was given a 5 minute major penalty and a red card for violent conduct.  The Dynamite would have the man advantage for the rest of the match, or until they scored.  With 2:02 remaining, the Dynamite also brought in Jay Hamilton as the 6th attacker.  After a few near misses, the Dynamite got the equalizer with 58.8 seconds remaining in the match, as Keegan Miller assisted on a Travis Carey goal.  The buzzer sounded with the game ending in a 4-4 stalemate.   

It was a highly spirited and competitive match, and without a doubt the best game of the season so far.  The Dynamite showed great resolve after going down 4-1 to earn a tie.  Tony Avery led the Dynamite attack with 7 shots and 2 goals.  Mike Ogletree played a key role on defense for the Dynamite after missing the season opener.   The Dynamite hope this will be a building block, as they look to avenge a US Arena open cup loss against the CSC Cavalry next Saturday, at 8:00pm in Monument.
