Match Summary
We struck quickly when Claire sent in a cross from the deep left to Lidia in mid-six, which 33 cheerfully slapped into the net in the 3rd m. Abundant opportunities abounded: 15 m. in, Claire’s steal resulted in another nice cross, and another a couple of minutes later. EmmaT laid out to stop a goal shot just after the water break, and with 6 m. left in the half Meghan’s steal went to Lidia, who was just wide on her shot from in front, then Aida’s theft on the right was sent Claire-ward, whose shot was just wide of the right post. Another good chance came with 2 m. left when Tyler was wide of the right post, and we led 1-0 at the half. Our opportunities lagged in the second, with Meghan pounding one high of the goal in the 56th minute, and Dylan taking a turn a bit later. With 11 m to go, EmmaW's great feed to Player of the Game Claire out left in the 18 was popped in for the game-winner from 20 yd. out for Goal #2. Crestview surprised us with a net-finder with less than 2 m. left.
