Game #7

After a long stretch without games and practices, Samantha and her Michigan Impact teammates returned to the ice tonight to take on the same RSC team that beat them by a 3-2 score in their previous matchup. Unfortunately the time off showed for the Impact girls, as they looking to be just a step slow tonight, missing with their passes and scoring chances throughout the game. The RSC girls scored in the first half, and that was all that they would need to win. Outside of that one goal, the Impact girls did a good job on defense, keeping the RSC team off the scoreboard for the remainder of the game.

Since this was the final game of the indoor season, this marks the end of the Michigan Impact team for this year. On to high school soccer this spring, then tryouts again in the summer!
