at Holy Cross 21sep2019

Our second game of the day was on a really well-groomed grass field down the hill from the turf field. The temperature seemed much more accommodating due the grass absorbing some of the sun's energy.

Kelly wasted no time getting forward in the first minute, beating her mark and getting off a shot that went wide. Nam had a shot go over before Kelly made a great block of a Holy Cross cross for their corner kick in the 3rd minute.

Nam had a shot saved in the 8th minute, Holy Cross had a free kick, and Nam had another shot saved before converting three minutes later with a mid-height right side of their net. Only a minute later, Zanna did the same, followed by Sarah whose goal was in the same location in the next minute!

After Kalā's free kick, Mudia had a shot saved, and our PK a minute later hit the upright. Sophia earned a free kick skillfully taken by Kalā, who had a shot saved right after that. 

Katie F made a sweet step-over move to create some space to get a shot off that just barely went wide in the last minute of the half. During the break we spoke about making more diagonal dribbles or passes and building more out of the back.

Bri saved a Holy Cross before Katie F's two shots were saved before her third shot in four minutes hit the right side of their net for our fourth goal.

Lana got a shot saved in the 38th minute before Zanna had one shot go wide and another go solidly into their net. Sarah had a shot go wide before Claire and Katie F had shots go over. After Aislinn's free kick, Sophia and Mudia had shots saved. 

In the 18th minute, Holy Cross converted after a free kick. Bri saved the shot they got off just after that. Katie and Zanna had shots go wide before Lana converted with a carefully placed roller-shot into their net in the 54th minute.

Zanna and Molly had shots go wide in the last few minutes. It was a great day for our team to play so well after so little time together!
