We didn’t know what to expect with UNH since they are relatively new to our League. When we arrived at Sachem Field, they were already warming up. Their coaches said 80 players came to their first tryouts!
We had fans! Nicole’s mom and pups, Maddie’s mom, Neva’s dad -maybe others?
We spoke about making close/simple passes on the ground to maintain possession and trying a diagonal dribble to confuse a defender.
Nicole wasted no time in getting off a shot in the first minute that went over their crossbar before Kya blocked a UNH shot for their corner. Sage had a shot go high and Molly had a shot saved before Nicole had her shot saved for a corner taken by Molly - then another corner by Molly.
In the 10th minute, Liv earned a free kick in their third taken by Neva, whose shot went high. Three minutes later, Neva earned a PK that was taken by Nicole; her first shot hit the crossbar but she scored on the rebound.
Sage had a shot saved for Ellie’s corner; then Ellie earned a free kick from midfield. Chloe earned a free kick from midfield taken by Emeline before UNH took a free kick in our third and had two corner kicks.
UNH sent a slow-rolling shot from left into the lower-right corner of our net in the 32nd minute. Emeline took a free kick from our third before Molly had a shot saved and UNH took a free kick from midfield just before the break.
We had many thoughts about the first half: playing scared by their physicality (?), we’re still happy, could communicate more, they’re putting high pressure on us so passing back is good for keeping possession, calm down, wing players came back to help provide outlets, make closer/simpler passes. Believe!
Within seconds Nicole scored by herself before UNH sent a shot wide. Carson took a corner kick and earned a free kick in their third taken by Neva before UNH’s free kick from midfield followed by their corner.
UNH took another free kick in their third and one from midfield before Nicole earned a free kick in their third taken by Neva. UNH took a corner kick and had a shot go wide before Liv earned a free kick in their third taken by Sage.
UNH took another corner kick and had a shot saved by Nele before Maddie had a shot saved and Neva had a shot go wide. Then Lola took a free kick from midfield and Kya earned free kick in midfield.
In the 79th minute, Nicole set up Neva for our third goal before Sage earned a free kick in midfield. In the last few minutes, Nicole earned a corner kick taken by Lola and Chloe had a shot go high.
In the 2nd half we connected more and more passes, so the end result seemed extremely we’ll deserved, and we were happy not to succumb to the physical and sometimes verbal pressure we faced!
