The coaches kept the teams pretty much the same for this
weekend's game, and unfortunately for Jayden that wasn't a good
thing. Despite scoring the first goal of the game, the B squad was
thoroughly outshot in the opening half. In fact, their goal came on
their only shot of the half, while the A squad would get 8 shots in,
scoring on half of them. When the halftime whistle blew, the B
players found themselves down by a 4-1 margin. The two teams
swapped goalies for the second half, in hopes of evening things out
a bit as far as shots faced. Of course, it didn't really help. Both
teams got off to a slow start to this half, but at least the A group
was able to get some shots on goal, including one by Jay. They
couldn't convert on those opportunities, but the A squad made the
best of their chance after the water break, expanding their lead to
a 5-1 margin. Despite being down big, the B team didn't quit, and
they battled back to take possession of the ball for a while. In
doing so, they were able to convert on a couple scoring chances
themselves, scoring two goals - the second by Jayden for her first
of the season - to make the score a more respectable 5-3. That would
be all of the scoring though, as Jay's team would suffer defeat. |
