Game #2

Some games just don't go your way, and that was today for Samantha and her Nut Megs teammates. The girls were without their scheduled goalkeeper (due to illness), which meant that Sam had to split duties in net once again. She faced a lot of shots throughout her time in goal, but was unable to stop them all. Before leaving goal to return to the field, she had ceded two goals, both off deflections/rebounds.

Although she was probably the most aggressive player on the field on offense, she wasn't able to help her teammates put any goals on the scoreboard. The fought hard, but a third goal by the Outsiders sealed the deal and took a bit of the wind from the girls sails. The three goal lead held, handing the Nut Megs their first defeat of the indoor season.
