Crew Put Wizards Under
Their Spell
By COREY WILSON
The Columbus Crew continued their winning ways with a 2-0 victory vs Kansas City . Being the top seed and the team to beat. The Crew lived up to their expectations and ended the Wizards season while riding the legs of Brad ”Boom Boom” Evans & Robbie ”The Rocket” Rogers. Evans and Rogers each scored a goal to help keep the 10 game home unbeaten streak alive. During the regular season Columbus dominated Kansas City as they won 3 games and tied the other 2 played.

Kansas City has not beaten the Crew all year and during the Conference Semifinals nothing changed at all. The Crew took the lead as Evans accepted a long pass from Brian Carroll. Evans then locked, loaded and fired a booming shot that nearly broke the Wizards goal keepers fingers. The Crew  took an early lead in the 7th minute on a laser shot by brad “Boom Boom” Evans.  The Wizards goal keeper Kevin Hartman did not have a chance as the Evans kick buzzed over his head into the net. Kansas City continued to play hard but was obviously outmatched. They were sharp and aggressive all night as the Wizards realized what was at stake. The Wizards had a chance to tie the match but Crew goal keeper William Hesmer made an amazing save stuffing Abe Thompsons monster kick. As time was winding down Robbie “The Rocket” Rogers added an insurance goal in the 58th minute to put KC out of their misery and the game out of reach.As the Crew continue to win, the obstacles will only become more difficult.

The Crew’s next challenge is the Chicago Fire which they have not defeated all year. The Crew have earned 2 draws and a loss at the hands of the Fire. Columbus must prove they can win the big game on their championship quest and bring the trophy home.
