Sorry, got a little carried away with that last post. We played a great game yesterday. Our team finally "clicked." We moved the ball really well in the first half, which paid off because we were up 2 goals at halftime. The first goal was a long cross from outside the box which Amy deflected off of her head right inside the back post. The second goal came about fifteen minutes later. Lindsay Bennett, a freshmen, drilled a ball on the ground from just inside the 18. Morgan Thompson did a great job setting a pick on the goalie (...not really sure if that's legal..) and the ball slid right into the net. It was extremely windy yesterday, and it was blowing in our favor in the first half. The second half we struggled a bit. We couldn't quite find out rhythm again, but we kept up the work rate which was critical. We made a few mistakes in the back, but covered for each other really well. All in all, it was a good game for us; we really needed a solid win.
Next, we head to Stevenson University in MD on Tuesday. When we played them last year, we lost 3-2 in overtime. We played them again in the conference championship game, where we won in penalty kicks. This will definitely be a great match and another win here would certainly help us in the CAC standings.
This is our team hanging out at me and Amy's house after our win!
