UMass A is always a difficult team to play, so we came with 23 players and got there on time for a good warm-up under partly cloudy skies and a comfortable ~15C/60F temperature. Abby’s mom, Erika’s dad and Caris’ mom were there! We spoke about coming out with high-energy.
UMass got off the first shot in the second minute, but it hit our upright; then they got the rebound and put a shot over. UMass got a free kick from mid-field and a little later had a shot saved by Caris. Kalā blocked a shot for their corner kick in the 13th.
Alison earned a free kick for Erika to take and ten minutes later earned a penalty kick that Mudia converted ever so gloriously in the 27th minute. Eliza had a shot saved five minutes later.
During the break we spoke about getting more control of the ball, not making square passes and switching sides.
After UMass’ free kick, Rachel made a clearance for a UMass corner; they converted on a header in the 43rd minute. Caitlin earned a corner for Ash to take before UMass had a free kick in our third that Caris saved.
Lizzy’s corner kick in the 54th minute found Erika, whose header went wide, and Genevieve earned a free kick in their third that Erika hit solidly but was saved.
UMass had another free kick from mid-field before converting on a corner kick in the 62nd minute. Ella had a shot saved, giving Ash another corner to take, and Ella had a shot go wide just before Erika’s two free kicks.
UMass had another free kick from mid-field before Rachel took one for us in our third. Kalā almost got us an equalizer 3 minutes from time, but her shot was saved for a corner Daniella took. In the last few seconds, UMass scored on the rebound from a free kick.
We felt that we had better passes than they and should have been able to show more for our good playing, but we were happy not to have any injuries since there is some history of that.
