Accommodating our preference not to play last Thursday due to class conflicts, Middlebury agreed to come today, even with only eight players! We moved the goals to the 18-yard lines and offered them whatever length halves they would like. The day was fall perfection -- sunny, warm but not hot!
It was great to have Carly and Lindsey there even though neither could play due to ACL tear/rehab. Our positive thoughts are still with Cate for her difficult recovery from last week's surgery.
We agreed on 30-minute halves and fielded a 3-3-1 formation, with suggestions to make good passes and practice speed dribbling.
Lizzie got off a shot on target right away that was saved. After Middlebury's corner kick, Meredith G had shots blocked and over the cross-bar, and Katie B got two corner kicks.
In the 6th minute, Namya set up Lizzie for our first goal. Only a minute later, Meredith G sent a low shot into the middle of the Middlebury goal.
Lizzie had a shot saved and one go over the cross-bar before Meredith G had a shot saved. Jenny had a shot go over the cross-bar, too, and Tina shut down one of the few Middlebury attacks into our third -- setting up her free kick after a foul was ruled.
In the 15th minute, Meredith G sent a shot from the left side of the field to the bottom right corner of the Middlebury net for our third goal. Immediately after that Middebury got off a shot that went wide, Sophia and Dani had shots go wide, but one on target from Dani was saved but bounced back out for Meredith S to put away.
Jordan had shots wide and saved before scoring in the 22nd minute. Then she had a shot hit the upright and a shot saved. Sophia had a shot go wide before Dani's shot low and in the middle found the back of the Middlebury goal for our 6th goal. Her shot after that sailed over the cross bar.
Bri made a save in the 27th minute just before Jordan scored again -- this time in the upper left corner of the Middlebury goal.
During the break we spoke about making more passes before scoring.
Middlebury came out with renewed energy and scored in the first minute of the second half and had two shots go wide.
Meredith G sent a shot into the lower left corner of their net to make it 8:1, then Namya had a shot saved for a corner -- taken by Lizzie.
In the 43rd minute from outside left back, Katie B made a shot into the right side netting of the Middlebury goal to make it 9:1. Lizzie's shot hit the upright and Dani's shot was saved before Caroline had a shot blocked and two go wide.
After Caroline's corner kick 6 minutes from time, Dani's low-middle shot made it 10:1. Middlebury countered with a shot over our cross-bar and one that Bri saved.
Credit to Middlebury to play with only 8 players! They enjoyed incredible scenery on their way to our campus -- over Middlebury and Rochester Gaps -- and everyone had a smile on her face after the game.
