Recap:
Workdaze advanced to the finals with a convincing 5-0 shutout against TapouT. Workdaze came out determined to control the game. The first two shifts did just that with Thomas picking the ball off a TapouT defender and scoring the first goal. The game would stay 1-0 well into the first half.

Workdaze kept the pressure on with a very fast pace that looked almost frantic at times. Thomas added another goal on an assist from Ralf off the wall. Then Paul got into the action with a blast from Armin to put Workdaze up 3-0 before the half.

In the second half Workdaze would extend the lead to 4-0 on another Thomas goal, this time from Frank. Geoff from Armin got the lead to 5-0. There was some confusion as the team thought the mercy rule was in effect, but it did not apply for a playoff game. Armin would add one more goal on a pass from Steve to finish off a 6-0 shutout.

Workdaze played a great game from start to finish. The team was motivated, agressive and played well in all aspects. Kevin was not challenged much, but when he was he came up with a few very nice saves preventing sure goals. The whole team earned this shutout which was only the second in team history, and first in the playoffs.

Workdaze faces D4 Thursday at 8:15pm in the final after they bashed Survey 7-2 in the earlier semifinal match.
