Jayden and her Riverview Lady Sharks teammates took part in a
high scoring battle against the Lennard Longhorns. Although the
Sharks got the first shot on goal, it was the Longhorns who got on
the board first thanks to a kick that sailed to the right of the
Sharks keeper. Less than two minutes later the Sharks answered back
thanks to a kick from just outside the box that sailed over the
Longhorns keeper's head. Riverview would also get the next three
shots on goal, but they weren't able to score again prior to the
first water break. Lennard would go on to get the first four shots
on goal coming out of the break, and they retook the lead on that
fourth shot that came thanks to a long pass from the right corner to
the front of the net. The Sharks would knot the score up once again,
this time at 2-2 on another shot over the keepers head. Moments
later Lennard would reclaim the lead on their own shot over the
Sharks keeper. That would be the end of the scoring, as the opening
half would close with a 3-2 score. It took about 12 minutes into
the second half, but the Sharks would tie the score once again, this
time at 3-3 on a kick that got past the Lennard keeper in the left
side. A PK would allow the Longhorns to take the lead once again,
this time by a 4-3 margin. With just over eleven minutes to play the
Sharks found a groove. They would score to tie the game on a long,
high kick that went up and over the Lennard keeper. They would take
their first lead moments later on a low kick that skimmed the ground
and went past the keepers left food. A short time after taking the
lead at 5-4 the Sharks would score on a direct kick that once again
soared over the keepers head. Less than eight minutes after tying
the game, they would score their fourth goal in as many shots, this
one on a breakaway (that may have been a missed offsides call) that
the Sharks were able to convert for a 7-4 score. Lennard would score
their final goal of the game as the half neared its end, making the
final score 7-5 and moving the Riverview Lady Sharks to 2-0 on the
season. |
