Game #12

The first half did not get off to a great start for the Dynamo girls, as they had trouble maintaining any offensive attack. In fact, they were unable to even get a single shot on net in the opening 45 minutes. North Port only managed seven themselves, six of them coming before the water break. Unfortunately for the Dynamo, two of those shots were converted into goals. The first score came when the offensive Fusion player drove through the Dynamo D before firing off a pass, then a second North Port pass led to a wide open shot that resulted in an easy shot behind the Tampa keeper, making it a 1-0 game just fifteen minutes in. Four minutes later and the Dynamo team was unable to clear the ball from the offensive zone (a common issue today), resulting in another shot that went back across the net in and in, making it a 2-0 score. North Port would manage just a single shot on net after the water break, though they weren't able to convert, keeping the score 2-0 heading into halftime.

The second half was all North Port, as they dominated the action. Tampa was unable to secure any first touches on the ball, and their "passes" consistently went to nobody but the opposition. More often than not, they weren't making passes but rather just kicking the ball away with no plan in mind of what they were trying to accomplish. This led to failed clears, such as the one that led to the first Fusion goal of the second half, on a shot that deflected in off of the diving Dynamo keepers hands, making the score 3-0 nine minutes into the half. Just two minutes later a Fusion player made their way in all alone, making an easy kick for a 4-0 score. A mere three minutes later the Fusion attacker easily weaved through the Dynamo defense, making it to the box all alone, and kicking an easy score in past the Tampa goalkeeper, who despite being fresh into the game gave minimal effort on the save attempt. The final goal, making it a 6-0 game, was similar to the previous one, as they easily drove through the Dynamo defense, switched to her left foot, and fired a shot up and over the Tampa keeper. That would be the final goal of the game, ending the winless Dynamo season.
