Halftime HH 3-0
Final 4-0

Great rebound effort by the entire team after a tough loss last Friday. From the opening kickoff we controlled the play. We did a great job of connecting passes through the midfield and changing the point of attack. We were able to get our outside players isolated one v one and took advantage of that.

On the first goal we got Lily Harvey one v one on the left side. She beat the defender and slid a ball across to Courtney Rinius who beat the keeper to open the scoring.

The second goal came off a great individual play by Ryleigh White. She won the ball on the left side and took her first touch inside and got off a right footed shot to the near post from about 25 yards out.

On the third goal Ryleigh White slid a nice pass into Lily Harvey who had made a great run in behind the center back. She beat their keeper to the near post to take the 3-0 lead at the half.
At halftime we talked about keeping the pressure on as we expected UM to come out strong trying to get back into the game. We kept our shape defensively and were able to weather their pressure.

We continued trying to isolate their outside backs. Lily Harvey made a nice play down the left side beating their back and played a great ball across the goal mouth. Lexi Cohen made a great run down the middle from the attacking mid and hammered it home for her first of the season.

Our back line really did a great job today keeping everything in front of them. Leah Nelson has done a great job the last few games along side Marisa Bennett at center back. We got great goaltending from Sydney Cassel and Alaina Daniel’s on the combined shut out.

Great team win today. Everyone contributed to the result.

Our girls came out ready to meet their opponent and matched up well throughout the game. Unfortunately, a five-minute slump in the first half cost us, and we weren’t able to recover from it. In the second half, we regrouped and played with much more energy and determination, creating several strong opportunities. Despite our effort and improved play, we just couldn’t find the back of the net. Solid play from Jayda Rivera, Madeline Cox and Leah King today.

We will continue to work and grow from each of our matches.
