Game 3
 

Home Up


 

    Things were looking good for the La Forza Ice in their third game of the season. They were playing good, aggressive soccer throughout the game, making passes to open teammates, and helping out on defense (for the most part). Despite all this, they fell behind when the Ann Arbor girls scored the first goal of the game. Thankfully the La Forza girls kept their heads up and stormed right back, taking a 2-1 lead into halftime after two speedy goals. Samantha moved into goal in the second half, and despite making some nice saves she also allowed a goal to tie the game at 2-2. The La Forza team put on the pressure once again, and even took the lead when an Ann Arbor defender knocked the ball into her own net! Unfortunately, the defense faltered a bit late, and Sam couldn't step up to make the crucial save when her team needed it most, as the Ann Arbor girls stormed back to tie the game once again, this time at 3 goals apiece. La Forza put on a desperate rally late, but it was indeed too late, as time expired before they could manage to get the go-ahead goal. This tie (or draw in soccer parlance) moved the team to 0-2-1 on the season (again, in soccer parlance, that is Wins-Draws-Losses). All this while only being outscored in their three games by a single goal!
