    The Michigan Impact girls kicked off their indoor season tonight at the Evolution Sportsplex against the RSC Lightning. The two teams started out slow, as they traded opportunities while getting a feel for how the other played. It was the Impact girls who struck first, finding the back of the net on  a nice pass to grab the lead. Although they had a couple of other good looks, that goal would hold up to halftime. The second half was all RSC, however, as they really began to show their superior footwork. They found the back of the net on a long shot over the Impact goalie (who wasn't the usual keeper). Later in the half they repeated their efforts, with another long shot finding its way into the goal, giving them a 2-1 lead. The Impact girls gave it their all to even things up as the clock wound down, but they weren't able to do so before the final whistle blew.
