This was the third time the La Forza girls have battled
this particular WAZA team, and after losing the first two games (first 4-0, then
3-1) the girls were ready to come out and claim a victory today. Of course, not
everything goes according to plan. Today's game was a prime example of that, as
the girls really struggled all day long. Sam didn't have her best day in goal
today, giving up 5 of the 7 her team allowed before finally being allowed to
move out to offense. Unfortunately for her, none of her teammates this indoor
session are interested in relieving her in net, so she spends most of her time
defending the goal. She would prefer to split her time in net and on the field
50/50, but that doesn't seem to be happening. She played well when she did get a
chance on offense, even getting off one of her teams few shots on goal.
Unfortunately it wasn't nearly enough, as the La Forza girls were unable to
score for the third consecutive game.
