Game 4
 

Home Up


 

    After going winless in their first three games but only giving up three goals in the process, the La Forza White Ice girls were looking for a breakout game to get them going. They managed to get that in tonight's game, as they dominated the action from start to finish on their way to their first victory of the season with an 11-1 win over the Farmington SC Farmington Fusion '01 team. It would have likely been a shutout had one of our girls not gotten called for pushing, setting up a penalty kick for the Fusion team. I know the goalkeeper wasn't too happy about giving up a goal, but at least they got the win!

    Samantha played one of her best games thus far, being aggressive in going after the ball and charging towards the net. She managed to score two goals tonight, one by kicking the ball past the goalkeeper, then hopping over her to tap the ball in for the score. The other goal was a clean kick past the goalie. Although the goalkeeper for the Fusion team gave up a lot of goals, she played a good game and made some very nice saves, but she didn't get much support from her teammates. Sam's team, however, gave each other all the support they needed. So much, in fact, that Sam played positions all over the field tonight instead of just her usual forward spot. It gave some of the other girls a chance to score, making the game that much more fun for all of them.
