Cleveland Legacy Hold Off Late Swerve Rally to Stay Unbeaten

NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio

The Cleveland Legacy welcomed in the Cincinnati Swerve Academy team for some fast paced PASL Indoor Soccer Action tonight.  Despite a furious fourth quarter rally from the Swerve that saw four goals scored by Mark Hanson, the Legacy held on for the 11-8 victory.

The impressing win improved their record to 2-0-2 on the season.  The Legacy opened up the scoring seconds into the game with a Cameron Johnson goal to make it 1-0 at the Forty Second mark of the first Quarter.  Later in the opening quarter it was Admir Suljevic scoring to make it 2-0 Legacy after one.

Both teams scored twice in the second quarter to make the score 4-2 at the break.  The Legacy came out a team on fire in the second half and outscored the Swerve 2-0 in the quarter.  The goals came from Sami Mutemwa and Ryan Minick which gave the Legacy a 6-2 lead heading into the final quarter.

That is when things got crazy.  A Mark Hanson hat trick wrapped around a Legacy goal by Admit Suljevic tightened the game and made it 7-5 with a little over 4 minutes left on the clock.  From there, things continued to pick up and get even more  unpredictable as both teams continued to trade goals at a sickening pace.  Before all was said and done, the Legacy held on for the 11-8 triumphant.

The Legacy next plays on Feb 4 on the road against the Waza Premier team
