Excellent Effort Today!

You should be very pleased with your performance today. I thought everyone worked exceptionally hard today and kept a high tempo for almost 70 minutes.

We controlled much of the possession and certainly had the ball in their end more often than they did in ours. But the one thing you can never control is luck, and we definitely didn't have any of that in the second half. First Marissa's shot cannoned off the underside of the crossbar and down and then Brooke G's quick turn and shot was cleared off the goal line. In between we had the ball in their penalty area 4-5 times without getting a good look at goal or a decent shot, but there was plenty of pressure. They say luck even's itself out over the course of the season, so let's hope we get a deposit next weekend against Gorge.

I was really pleased with our defensive play where we were first to the ball quicker than we've have done in recent games. More of that again next week please!

Practice is Tuesday as usual and we will continue to work on explosive and reactive foot speed.
