Game 2
 

Home Up


 

    Game 2 of the tournament was supposed to get underway at 11:40am, but rain delayed the games prior. Things looked like they were all set to go until another storm rolled in just about the time the girls were supposed to start this one. What originally started with a 20 minute delay for lightening was extended as we were ordered to clear the fields altogether. After a long, rain-soaked walk to the truck (parked about 1/4 mile away) and some downtime waiting for the rain to stop things seemed set to start the game. Only somebody saw lightening again, delaying the start of the game for another 20 minutes. Finally, around 2:00pm, the game was started. Because of all of the rain delays this game was shortened - from two 30 minute halves with a 5 minute halftime to what we thought was supposed to be two 20 minute halves with no halftime. Unfortunately we didn't even get the two 20 minute halves, instead just playing for 40 minutes straight. All of the downtime before finally kicking off must have hurt our girls concentration a bit, as the SCOR team scored within the first two minutes of play. The La Forza girls hung tough, though, answering that goal with one of their own. They couldn't quite get over the hump, even with some quality scoring chances. The SCOR girls scored again, giving them a 2-1 lead before La Forza could answer with one of their own to tie the game at two. After scoring the first goal two minutes into the game, the SCOR squad managed to net another with less than two to play as well. This was the only goal that went unmatched by the La Forza girls, as they dropped their first game of the tournament (and their season, including indoor ball) by a 3-2 score. This loss dropped them to 1-1 in the tourney, but didn't eliminate the girls from the chance at playing in the finals. It would take some luck, but the girls had played well enough to earn that shot thus far in the tournament.
