We had amazing fan attendance! Parents -- of Emily N + Liz, Katherine, Ally, Courtney, Emily B, Annie O -- and alumni -- Sarah Rocio, Betsy Dani-Owens, Emily Baumrin, Abbe Sokol + James Cart, Maura Cass -- loved seeing the team play. The weather was perfect -- 16C/60F and cloudy but not raining.
Tufts came out strong, putting a lot of pressure on us. They could have scored first, but we had good goalkeeping and some luck when a Tufts shot hit the post.
We did what we worked on in practice -- made diagonal passes and switched the field. Molly had two shots on target. Then Tufts was called for a hand-ball in the box on Mila's cross from a corner kick. Emily N converted even though the Tufts keeper got a hand on Emily's shot.
At practice we also worked on being in an open space. After Natalie's shot was saved in the 15th minute, she made a perfect cross to Bri who was in an open space on the left side of the field. Bri was very composed and her shot easily found the back of the net.
Tufts kept pressing and got behind our defense to score their first goal in the 31st minute. They capitalized again in the 40th minute, leveling the score.
In the second half, Tufts kept pressing and put another goal in the net, but we kept our composure and continued to hammer their goal with on-target shots from Katherine and Shelby. In the 85th minute, Annie O's corner found Emily N at the far post, and she put the ball in the back of the net to level the score. Julia almost gave us the winning goal in the 88th minute.
Tufts was the first team to out-shoot us in a long time, so we did well to earn a draw. Several of the fans noted how well we passed and spread out in possession.
