Once again Samantha started today's game in goal before
moving to the field in the second half. Talking to the coach before the game, it
seems as though this is going to be the preferred routine. She played well in
both spots today, helping her team stay in the game while in goal, leading them
to a 0-0 halftime tie. After moving into the field, she (along with a teammate)
almost managed to give her team the lead, but their battle for the ball with the
goalie resulted in the ball going just wide of the net. By the time the final
whistle blew, the girls had held on for a 0-0 draw.
