Highlights of the weekend: A glorious victory over a ferocious and formidable foe

Personal Quote about team/weekend:  "The game was a joy to watch—a tense tug-o-war ‘tween two teams intriguingly tactically antithetical.  Whoever could impose their style on the game would win: both teams enjoyed the upper hand at various times and the game was on a razor’s edge until the last few minutes when, finally, Charlottesville’s skillful switching of the point of attack & lethally aimed long-range bombardments were vanquished by Herndonian pass-and-move, give-it-and-get-it, quick-touch adroitly agile soccer."
