Nomads storm back from three goals down to take McGuire Cup 5-4 from Tulsa Pride. Nomads storm back from three goals down to take McGuire Cup 5-4 from Tulsa Pride. Walton, a freshman standout as a freshman last fall at Notre Dame, netted the last three Nomads tallies, including what proved to be the game-winner with a drive from 18 yards. Walton evened the score at 4-4 in the 84th minute, lunging to put in a header off Brandon McNeil's crossing pass. Most of us have been together since we were 13, 14.
Families fall together and they come back together.
We knew we would come back, even when it was 4-1. Without a backup goalkeeper, coach Steve Earle sent in defender Treagan White, who made several nice saves despite not playing in goal since his U-12 days. Miro Bilaver gave La Jolla a 1-0 advantage in the first minute off an assist by Miguel Luna before the Pride notched four unanswered goals. Hill tapped in a nice crossing pass from Pat Tanner in the 23rd minute to tie the score, and then Tanner scored for a 2-1 advantage in the 33rd minute after Chris McDaniel made a terrific solo run down the right flank and threaded a pass through three Nomads defenders. Ten minutes later it was Tanner who made the score 3-1 off an assist from Chris McDaniel.
