The rain subsided just in time for us to welcome UVM, one of the best teams we have played in the past. Great family attendance included Liz's dad and grandfather, Courtney's family, Hannah N's dad, Caroline's dad, Christine's mom and Julia's parents!
The advice was to be quick with our passes since we expected UVM to put high pressure on us. We did that well, and we switched the field often, as we had practiced last week. We had more possession that UVM did, and a majority of the play was in their half of the field.
In the first half we made 6 shots to their two. Hannah N only had to make one save, but Tessa and Kate made two critical tackles to keep UVM from scoring.
At half-time we talked about getting off more shots and switching the attack more often. UVM came out energized and got lucky with a shot that spun off the upright to put them ahead 1:0.
Around the hour mark, Natalie's high pressure on them got the ball back so she could send it to Julia for a shot that glanced back out for Molly to power into the net for the equalizer --> 1:1! Both teams had spells of possession -- they got off 8 shots to our 7. It seemed like a game that would end in a draw, but during injury time they got in behind us for their winning goal.
It was good to play UVM since they are a really solid team -- now we can look forward to playing them again next weekend when they return!
