ROBINS 3 MPLS. SOUTH 0
The Robins played hard and came up with another big win over the Tigers of Mpls. south, 3-0. This game looked like a World Cup style soccer game, with a relatively low number of shots on goal, and only 3 goals scored. Whatever the case, it was a great game. Tim Kraske started the scoring with a goal on a great pass from Chris Schumacher with 6 minutes left in the first half. Kevin Devine knocked in 2 quick goals to start the second half on passes from Kraske and Kati Fobes, then the defense took over. Becky Vahakangas played one of her best games as a goalie, smothering every shot that came her way posting 26 saves and her first shut-out of the season. GREAT JOB ROBINS!

ROBINS 3 St. PAUL HUMBOLDT 5
The Robins locked up in another tough battle in game two of the season, but still couldn't come up victorious, falling to the St. Paul Humboldt Hawks 5-3.
