CSC 01 Girls Gold vs Javanon at 6pm on 8/21/11

We knew going into this game that it was going to be a tough one since they were supposedly the best team in the top division last year as u10. We came out really strong with intensity on both sides of the ball. Offense and defense both played much better than our game on Saturday. The game was very physical and our girls endured the battle well. I think we controlled the ball well and had lots of opportunities to score. Our defense played really well against the speed up front that javanon sent toward our goal. Going into halftime up 2-1 was proof that we were outplaying them. It was important for us to come out in the second half and score some more goals to set the tone for the second half. Unfortunately, they got a good shot off to tie it up before we could score again on them. We felt the need to get a goal pretty quick after that because we could see the clouds rolling in. Sadly, the thunder and lightning rolled in and the remaining 15 min of the game was cancelled due to lightning. The 2-2 tie is the way we finished but we came away knowing we could handle their speed and physical play. We had lots of shots on goal and could have scored several more if our finishing had been a little better. It will be good match up when we play them again on the road in a few weeks. Looking forward to challenging them again!
