JONES ON TARGET AS OLYMPIANS DEFEAT U-18 STATE CHAMPION INTER

Storm Mountain, Utah [LNS].-- Defensive midfielder Jeremy Jones came back from three weeks off with an ankle problem to score in first half injury time to tie the score 1-1.

Inter, Utah U-18 champion, had enjoyed the lead for about 20 minutes on a superb strike by Roberto "Betu" Linck, their 17 year-old Brazilian phenomenon and Olympique Montreux alumnus.

Jones sidefooted the ball home after Inter's keeper dropped a high cross by Ivan "El Terible" Morales.

In the second half, the Olympians stunned Inter's faithful with two more goals.

The first came in the 57th-minute courtesy of Fall Season golden boot winner and Daynes Cup hero Sergio Vasquez.

The second followed seven minutes later when pivot man Nate Murphy, who chalked up a sublime second half performance, dribbled past two Inter defenders, passed to winger Jake Cavanaugh who blasted a low angled shot past Inter's keeper.

The game continued with OM's defenders derailing Inter's attempts while the offense controlled the tempo, but wasted a smorgasbord of opportunities.
