Game 1

Jayden and her Tampa Dynamo teammates travelled all the way to Fort Myers today to take on the Lee County Strikers on their home field. Jay started at forward today, on the outside. The Dynamo controlled the ball for the opening few moments, but then play tilted to the Strikers end of the field. They were granted a corner kick early on, and the Dynamo keeper came out to challenge for the ball, but ended up missing, and the ball ended up in the back of the net, giving Lee County the early lead. On their very next shot, they would widen the lead to 2-0 after a pass through the middle of the field. The Tampa keeper came out to challenge, but had second thoughts and backed off. Unfortunately the Strikers player found the back of the net for the goal. That two goal advantage would hold until halftime.

Play evened out more in the second half, with both teams getting some shots on goal. It was Lee County that got on the board once again when the Tampa keeper came out to challenge. The two players met at the ball, but it was the Strikers player who won possession, and found an easy path and shot on goal ahead of her. That made it a 3-0 game. With only a short time left in the game, the Strikers complete a long pass up the middle. Most of the Dynamo players thought the play was offsides, but the refs did not, so play carried on, with an easy 1v1 against the Dynamo keeper. The resulting shot found the back of the net, making it a 4-0 game, a score that stood until the final whistle blew.

Overall, not a terrible effort by the Dynamo girls. A few things to clean up and the outcome may end up different!
