Victory instills confidence for push to a playoff berth
The California Cougars, fresh off their first victory in seven weeks, have reached a critical point in the season. The Cougars (8-11) still are in the Major Indoor Soccer League's playoff race after Friday's 9-8 victory over Chicago at Stockton Arena. A tough two-game trip awaits them this week - a visit to New Jersey (10-10) at 8 a.m. Thursday and Philadelphia (10-13) at 4:05 p.m. Saturday. "There's always a make-or-break situation for teams, and this might be one of those," coach Bernie Lilavois said. "We're playing everyone in front of us, so we can beat them and catch up. This is the one where we have to make our move." California goalie Sanaldo was outstanding against Chicago, and he was named the league's goalkeeper of the week on Tuesday. Sanaldo's 20 saves kept the Cougars in the playoff race, with New Jersey 11/2 games ahead of them for the fifth playoff spot and Monterrey (9-11) up by a half-game in the final spot.
