Assumption 28sep2019

Assumption just joined our division this fall, but we learned a little about them last weekend when Sophia introduced us to her friend from high school, Char, who founded the team in Worcester, MA. 

We greeted them with blue skies and warm near 80F/25C temperatures at Sachem around noon for our 1pm game. We were missing Katie Reisman and Cate Rozelle due to Rush, but Jordan Isaacs was back after suffering an ankle injury.

Sophia's folks came to watch and to be her support team for a marathon (!!!) tomorrow in Keene, and some classmates of players on our team came to see the game, too!

We were immediately in Assumption's third, with Aislinn's corner kick in the 4th minute and Nam's shot hitting their crossbar before Kelly's corner kick found Meredith for our first goal in the 5th minute.

Jenna had her shot go over their crossbar and Katie F had a shot go wide before Zanna's shot was saved. After Meredith earned another corner, Ells's shot went over their crossbar and Jordan's shot was saved. 

Katie F put the ball into the mid-level left side of their goal for our second goal in the 19th minute, Sarah had a shot go over, and Nam had a shot saved. Immediately after that, Sarah earned a penalty kick that she converted handily in the 23rd minute.

Jenny put in a sweet shot from the right side of the field into the upper 90 left side of their goal for our fourth goal in the 25th minute just before Bri stepped up to catch a lofted ball.

Katie F put in another goal from the left side of the field to the mid-level right side of their goal (a far-post goal) in the 27th minute before Sophia's shot was saved and her cross to Jordan was sent wide.

Jordan had another shot saved just before slotting the ball into the lower-right side of their net for our 6th goal in the 36th minute. She had another shot ring off the upright before Ella had a shot saved for a corner.

Jordan sent in a perfect cross for Ella to head into their goal for our 7th just before the break.

We discussed being more diagonal and quicker for the second half. Assumption got a corner kick just before Sarah's shot was saved in the 44th minute. Then her shot hit the crossbar before Jenny's shot went over.

Bend-it-like-Aislinn scored with her left-footed corner kick in the 56th minute even though the keeper got her fingertips on the ball. Then Claire slotted a low shot into the left side of their net for our 9th goal.

After Aislinn's shot was saved in the 62nd minute, Sophia had a shot go over. Aislinn's perfect cross from the left side of the field found Sophia at the right (far) post, whose shot banged into the mid-level left side of their net for our 10th goal.

Assumption did well not to seem bothered by the high score, and we were happy to have so many goals in case it helps us break a tie for getting to Regionals.
