Peak colors over Rochester Gap, elevation 2200’, blue skies and 60F/15C with fiercely gusty winds, we were pleased to be back at Middlebury. Kalyn’s grandparents and Hattie’s mom were there!
Kate graciously filled in goal for Addie and made a save from Middlebury’s corner kick in the 8th minute before Abby B had a shot saved. Kalyn had a shot go wide before Kate made a critical save on the goal line in the 17th minute.
Carly took a free kick from our third before Hattie earned and took a corner kick and Julia had a shot saved. Kate made another save for a corner in the 24th minute, and 9 minutes later Katelyn had a shot go over their crossbar.
Dani used her amazing speed to shut down an attack for Middlebury corner just before the break.
We had lots a ideas: attack altogether, connect more of our passes, switch the attack, pass to feet, release the ball more quickly in the midfield, mark better, make better passes to keep possession.
Abby B got off a good shot that barely went wide just before Kate made another save and Nathalie also had a shot go wide. Kate made another save and Erika had a long-distance shot saved before Abby B’s free kick in their third.
Nicole, having had a hand injury bandaged at DH before coming to the game, used her incredible speed to beat Middlebury to their end line and got off a cross for Colleen B to tap into the Middlebury goal.
Katelyn had shot saved before Carly earned a corner beautifully taken by Hattie. Then Katelyn repeated that experience before Abby B earned a free kick in their third and Lizzy had a shot saved.
Kalyn zoomed past her Middlebury defenders and set up Nathalie for our second goal in the 66th minute. Carly had a shot go over their crossbar and took a corner kick before Nicole earned and took a corner kick. Erika had a shot saved before Carly earned a corner taken by Dani.
We hope Middlebury will decide to come south to play again this fall!
OM: Kalyn Dawes+Nathalie Maffei, Hattie Hatton+Nicole Bogdanos, Carly Fleming
