The defense once again could not be penetrated as our fullbacks (Erin, Ariel & G) tirelessly played the whole game and yielded few opportunities to the opponent; and, the few chances that the S.C. Storm did have were stuffed by the error free goaltending of Sammy. Also, Gillian, as a first time goalie, let nothing get passed her. The midfield was controlled by Vanessa and Christen in the center while Mikayla, Jessica and Sophie disrupted many of the Storm's charges up the sidelines. Emily, with aggressive play, forced a penalty in the box as well as several crosses that nearly led to scores. Through perseverance, we did get that score form Jamie's right foot. However, the most deserving compliment goes to Pooja because the other team actually had their players concentrate on covering her specifically. It is a great show of respect when an opponent does that.
Once again, the girls played a terrific game and all that hard work is really starting to show. Let's ride the momentum...
