Amherst has had trouble in the past finding enough players, so they were not a required game for us but agreed to play after our game with UMass A. It's a very small college but very popular and therefore difficult to get into. They appeared not to have many, if any, substitutes, so we agreed to play 30-minute halves instead of 35's.
We were down a player with Jenny's hurt knee, but we still had four subs. Captain Katie B's great advice was to shake off our former experience with UMass A and just have as much fun as possible. One result of that was witnessing central defenders Katie B and Molly in front of the Amherst goal -- even scoring!
Their keeper did startling well, saving shots by Jordan, Jenna and Zanna, who also saw several of hers go wide or over their crossbar.
Aislinn put two power shots from the left side just barely wide in the 15th and 17th minutes before Mudia's shot was deflected for a corner.
Lana opened our scoring in the 19th minute with a shot from the left side to the lower-right side of the Amherst net. A minute later, Aislinn set up Jenna for our second goal.
After another of Jordan's shots was saved, Jenna earned a corner and Claire had a shot go wide. Then in the 26th minute Aislinn made a beautiful spinning turn and shot the ball into their net for our third goal.
Kalā showed her quality a minute later with a high, arching ball that sailed over the keeper's head into their net. Mudia's shot went over before Zanna's corner kick and Kalā's shot saved just before halftime.
Jordan had the first shot of the second half saved before Zanna's corner. Jenna had another shot barely go wide before Aislinn sent in another perfect shot from the left side of the field that entered the upper-right corner of their net for our 5th goal in the 34th minute.
Only a minute later Jordan scored with a perfect shot from the left side of the field very near the end-line (at a very acute angle) into the right side-netting for our 6th goal.
Ella had a shot saved and had a corner kick before Jenna's shot went wide. In the 40th minute Zanna earned a free kick, Jordan's shot was saved but Kalā put the rebound into the Amherst net for our 7th goal.
Mudia had a shot saved before she got our 8th goal in the 42nd minute, and she had another shot saved after Kalā had a shot go wide.
Molly went on a superb dribbling spree, sailing all the way up the field and having her shot saved before Sophia converted in the 48th minute for our 9th goal.
Katie B made her way to the front of the field, too, having her first shot saved but her second enter the lower-left side of the Amherst net in the 50th minute.
Zanna had shots saved and go over before Ella scored from the left side of the field with a shot into the upper-right side of their net for our 11th goal in the 53rd minute.
Mudia had a shot saved and Ella had a shot go over the crossbar before Zanna's corner and shot wide.
Molly made another surge upfield and scored in the lower-right side of their net for our 12th goal, and Zanna did the same in the 60th minute to bring us to 13 goals.
It was a relaxing way to end an otherwise unsavory day!
