Game 5 of the indoor session III for the La Forza White
Ice was a rematch against the MESA Momentum, which the girls beat 4-1 back on
March 8th. Things looked like they were going to get out of hand early in this
one, as the La Forza girls scored the games first goal early in the action.
Unfortunately for them the Momentum gained some and came back and scored a quick
goal of their own. This continued for most of the first half, as each La Forza
goal was matched by one by MESA. In fact, the La Forza team had given up only 2
goals in their previous four games combined, and in this one half alone they let
3 in past their goal keeper! The Ice girls came out strong in the second half,
and that included Samantha. She didn't score, but her team scored a couple of
quick goals that seemed to break the ice for them. By the time it was all said
and done, the La Forza White Ice team had won their fifth game in five tries,
this time by a score of 8-3. Sam started off slow, like the rest of team, but
she was much more aggressive in the second half. She was dribbling the ball up
the field instead of just passing it as soon as she got it, and she was driving
to the net and getting off some kicks on goal. It was nice to see her come out
strong, and I hope she keeps it up!

Well enough, in fact, that she got to do it throughout the game.
