At 9am we thought perhaps Middlebury would not have enough players to come down, but about a half hour later we got confirmation that they were coming! Whew! It was senior day!
Maddie’s mom and boyfriend, Chloe’s parents and pups, Nicole’s dad and pups, Carson’s mom and brother (I think), a huge group from Sigma Delta and many others were there cheering! We spoke about playing from our hearts and making good passes.
Middlebury pressed heavily and earned an early free kick in their third before Nele saved their first and only shot for the half. I think we all were surprised by how well they played.
Neva had a shot go high and Carson had one go wide before Lola earned a free kick from our third. Then Ellie had a shot go wide and we took a free kick from our third due to their handball.
Neva had another shot go high before Molly’s free kick from our third and Ellie (maybe?) had a shot saved. Then Neva had a shot saved and Nicole had one go wide before Ellie’s shot hit the crossbar then over.
Liv earned free kick from midfield and Maddie had a shot saved before Liv’s shot wide just before the break. We had ten times as many shots as they had in the first half!
Carly led the comments with impassioned praise for the love all of our players showed each other during the first half - taking great care of each other. We connected more passes and held good spells of possession. It was suggested that we can pass back and not always go forward in order to maintain possession, and we switch sides more often. Our crosses were very effective, we should keep shooting and play for each other!
Early in the second half, Pine took a free kick from our third and Molly had a shot saved before Middlebury sent a shot wide and Nele saved a shot.
Emeline earned a free kick from our third before Pine had a shot saved. Then
Carson earned a free kick from midfield taken by Lola and Nele made another save
when Middlebury took a free kick from midfield.
Middlebury got in behind our defense (offside?) for their goal in the 56th minute.
Hattie earned a free kick from their third and Pine’s shot went wide before Neva scored from Carson’s rebound off their crossbar in the 65th minute.
Nele saved Middlebury’s 6th shot before another went wide. Then Sage made a beautiful strike in the 71st minute for our game-winning goal.
Nicole had a shot go wide and Ellie had one go over their crossbar before Middlebury sent two shots wide and Carly took a free kick from midfield.
We were delighted to play a strong team in preparation for the game with UVM.
