Last weeks poor display didn't continue today, although
you could hardly tell based on the score. The La Forza girls dominated the field
for the vast majority of the game, but they just couldn't seem to get one past
the goal keeper when they needed it. In typical fashion it appeared that even
though they possessed the ball far more than the opposition, the breaks all went
against them today. Every shot we took found their way right to the keeper,
while one of the very few shots that they took managed to find it's way to the
back of the net. It was 1-0 at halftime, so the girls still had a shot.
Unfortunately they couldn't manage to score once again, at least until the final
minute of play. By that time Samantha had let in two goals on her end, though
one of them was an own-goal by a teammate (and the second was basically a
breakaway late when the coach put a defender up on offense in an attempt to
force a score for us - that backfired when they slipped a player between our
defenders for the score). By the time it was over, the girls had lost once
again, this time by a 3-1 score. There is still one more chance for the girls to
taste victory...
