UVM 15Oct2022

UVM is a good team to play because of their strength and quick passing, so we always look forward to playing them. Their trip here almost didn’t happen when they had trouble getting vans, but they were able somehow to make it down for a gorgeous, sunny 20C/~70F day with Molly’s parents and three other dads here - Ash’s, Zanna’s and Ella’s! 

Ella wasted no time getting off a shot - saved - in the 4th minute, as both teams made quick passes and pressed heavily to regain possession. Sara earned a free kick in their third and put her shot on target - saved- before she had another shot saved and Mudia had one go wide. UVM put a shot over and had a free kick in our third.

Eliza earned a corner in the 18th minute before Dani blocked a UVM shot for their corner, after which their shot went wide. A couple minutes later Abby B earned a free kick in their third- her shot was high. 

Abby H had her shot saved before UVM’s went wide, Nathalie’s was saved and Mudia’s went just barely wide. Lizzy earned and took a free kick in their third that was saved. UVM’s shot went wide just before the break.

We were happy with our passing and possession and encouraged continued shooting.

Genevieve and Kalyn had shots go wide before Genevieve had a shot saved and Ash put a shot wide. Then UVM took a free kick from their third before Genevieve set up Kalyn whose shot was saved for a corner taken by Ash. 

Mudia had a shot go high, and Zanna and Abby B had shots go wide before UVM took a free kick from mid-field and then had a shot go high. Caitlin earned a free kick from our third taken by Erika, and UVM had a free kick from their third.

Abby H firmly one-touched a rebound that rocketed into the upper-left corner of the UVM goal for our first goal in the 63rd minute. Ella and Caitlin had shots saved just before Zanna’s excellent corner kick found Lana, whose shot was deemed to have been handled by a UVM player. Lana stepped up to the spot and struck the ball firmly, slotting it to the side and making it impossible for their keeper to save.

UVM had a free kick in our third, but their shot went wide before Avery had shots saved and go high. Kelly Z earned and took a free kick from midfield that went wide before Daniella’s shot went high.

We were delighted with the result, especially after feeling let down by the defeat at their field earlier this season.
