NOTES:

WISS WIN, 4-3 AGAINST CHRISTOPHER DOC

WISSAHICKON HOSTED A 5:30 MATCH AGAINST NON-LEAGUE FOE CHRISTOPHER DOC ON THURSDAY. "IT [THE GAME] WAS THE CULMINATION OF THIS TEAMS DEDICATION AND HARD WORK THIS SEASON. A SUPER (AND VERY WET) GAME, AND IN MY OPINION, THE BEST GAME OF THE SEASON."
WITH JUST OVER 3 MINUTES INTO THE MATCH WISS WENT UP FIRST WITH AN ON-TARGET FREE KICK BY ALYSSA RYAN FOUND BY FORWARD MEGHAN GUZEWICZ TO FINISH. THIS GOAL SETTING THE TONE, THIS NON-LEAGUE MATCH-UP DID NOT DISAPPOINT. THE BATTEL FOR POSSESSION WAS FIERCE PROVIDING LITTLE OPPORTUNITY FOR EITHER TEAM TO SHOOT IN THE FIRST 40, RECORDING ONLY 5 SHOTS A PIECE. CNT BACK AND CO-CAPTAIN ANNA CHIODO-ORTIZ CAME UP BIG AT MINUTE 20:05 WITH A HUGE BLOCK SHUTTING DOWN A DOC BREAKAWAY, BUT AT 23:12 DOC BEATING THE LAST DEFENDER WAS ABLE TO KNOT THE SCORE. AND WITH LESS THAN A MINUTE LEFT TO END THE HALF, DOC AGAIN WAS ABLE TO PENETRATE THE BACK LINE FOR HEADER TO THE BACK OF THE NET, TAKING THE LEAD. IN THE SECOND HALF WISS CAME OUT STRONG SCORING AT 52:52 ON A BUEATY OF A CROSS BY MADDY ELWELL TO FIND GUZEWICZ AT THE LINE TO BODY THE BALL PASSED THE KEEPER, SCORE NOW 2-2. DOC ANSWERED AT 63:12 TO AGAIN TAKE THE LEAD, BUT WISS DID NOT LET UP. TAKING CONTROL, WISS RECORED 17 SHOTS ON GOAL TO DOC'S 2, PAYING OFF AT MINUTE 73:18 WITH ANOTHER RYAN FOUL SHOT, FAR POST, UPPER 90 TO BRING THE SCORE EVEN ONCE AGAIN. AND WITH 3 MINUTES LEFT, KRYSTA MEMIS, TAPPED AN INDIRECT KICK TO RYAN FOR ANOTHER FLAWLESS SHOT TO SCORE ADVANCING THE TROJANS TO 4-3 OVER DOC TO FINISH.
"AN EXCITING MATCH, ONE THAT I WILL REPLAY WITH THE TEAM, REMINDING THEM TO NEVER GIVE UP, SET THE PACE, AND FOLLOW THROUGH. JUST A GORGEOUS GAME."
—SHANNON FRANKE, HEAD COACH
