Dominators 2 - Strikers FC 1
What an exciting game that was! Our players had their best game of the season against a team that had dominated us in the past. They always had beaten by at least 5 or 6 goals and we had never scored against the Dominators in previous games.
Our girls got in the game right away. Kailee filled in for Ceili in the goals. Our defense held their own with great help from the midfielders. We played evenly with the Dominators for most of the half but we conceded a goal around the 20th minute on a fluke after a great first save from Kailee. That did not phase our girls who kept playing strong. Within 5 minutes in the second half, Dominators scored a 2nd goal. Still, we kept playing hard. Around the 25 minutes in the second half, our defense cleared the ball into the other team's half. Kyara went after the defender who had gotten first on the ball. Not giving up, she managed to steal the ball from the defender and make a great pass to her right to Sarah who went for a breakaway towards the goal. As the keeper was coming out of her box, Sarah shot the ball over the keeper and into the net. Beautiful Goal!! This was Sarah's 3rd goal of the season. Our players, completely energized after this goal, kept pounding the other team for the last 5 minutes of the game. Unfortunately, we could not tie the game but it didn't matter. Our girls knew they had had a great game. I believe this was a defining game for our team. I am very proud of our players. Great, great game STRIKERS!!
