Game 1
 

Home Up


 

    While I didn't get to see Samantha play today's game, I was told that she had a strong game both in net and on offense. Unfortunately she didn't have anything to show for her hard work - no victory and no goals scored. While playing goalkeeper in the first half she made several nice saves but gave up a single goal on a breakaway shot by the WAZA player. She moved to offense in the second half, and Tara said that Sam had a great game here. She didn't score, as I said, but I was told that she did take a vocal leadership role in the game. Unfortunately her keeper replacement (playing in goal for only her second time this year, and first indoor game where the ball moves much faster) let in three goals in the second half, while Sam and her teammates couldn't get one ball past the WAZA goalkeeper, leading to a 4-0 defeat in their first indoor game of the season.

Game 1 - vs. WAZAFC North U11

Samantha started the game in goal today.

She made some pretty good saves during her half in net...

...even though some of them she bobbled just a bit.

Here is Sam making another save...

...trying hard not to let the ball sneak between her legs.
