“Quitting is not an option.”

HOLLADAY, UTAH (OM News Service) September 22, 2007—Peruvian striker Jimmy Quadros scored two goals to lead OM over Rush Elite in the Utah Premiership on Saturday.

Jimmy scored his first goal in the 39th minute when he rose above the defense to head in a wonderfully taken Nate MURPHY corner kick and added the second in the 79th minute on a breakaway.

The Olympians played perhaps their best game of the season, with the attacking players pressing on high on turnovers.

“I was very impressed by our defensive display this afternoon. Despite the poor weather, we kept the ball and did not hurry things,” explained OM manager Bel-Ami.

“Our defending was amazing."

Barely back from hernia surgery, the powerfully built Jimmy showed he still had his game, hustling and defending like never before.

His strike partner, Sina ALIPOUR, did fine work with his speed to unsettle Rush Elite’s difficult to penetrate defense.

OM midfielders did a good job pacing the team and playing to the strength of the formation.

Keeper Martin MARTINEZ picked up his third shoot out in just as many games.

Earlier in the day, the U-14 Olympique Montreux girls squad gave a display that should put future adversaries on notice as the side gains in experience.

From the starting whistle, Coach Ben Staples’ team went at it in an organized and skillful fashion.

They dominated their more experienced opponents and by half time, Sparta was lucky to be only trailing by a single goal.

In the second half, the Lady Olympians completely dominated Sparta, scoring three additional goals.

“The U-14 girls team is the smartest thing Olympique Montreux F.C. has done in a long time. The players are enthusiastic and they genuinely are proud of the team’s tradition which they are enriching,” said Bel-Ami.
