Game 2

Jayden and her Florida Hawks teammates took on the Wimauma team at the Florida Hawks home fields this morning. The game got off to a slow start for both teams, as they spent the majority of the time in the middle of the field. The Hawks couldn't manage any sort of offensive attack, while Wimauma was limited to just four shots on net during the entire time. Unfortunately, they did manage to convert on one of their shots just before the water break, as the initial shot deflected off of the Hawks keepers' hands, where a Wimauma attacker was poised to kick the rebound home for the 1-0 lead. Only one shot found it's way on net following the water break, so the two teams headed into intermission with the same 1-0 score.

The pace of play picked up during the second half. The Hawks got their first two shots of the game to open the half, and the two teams traded opportunities through the second water break. Neither side managed to break through before the break, however. Finally, late in the second half, the Hawks found themselves on a 'breakaway' as one of their forwards found themselves stride for stride beside a Wimauma defender. She managed to beat the Wimauma goalkeeper, as the ball was just out of reach and went in off of her gloves, knotting the game at a goal apiece. Just when it looked like that may be the way the game would come to an end, the Wimauma girls got an opportunity off of a corner kick. The kick sailed toward the goal, and went off the Hawks keeper towards the back of the net. From our angle it appeared to deflect in off of Jayden's shoulder, but she swears that the ball was already in the goal and that she was trying to knock it out. Regardless, the score was now 2-1, with the Hawks on the wrong side of the winning score.
