It has been a long week and today was another grind on the hot turf. I think both teams were struggling at times and it was a battle of attrition. For us, our depth was a big factor in gaining the win and credit to the girls for woking through their tiredness and the conditions.
We were a little slow to start but we eventually started to settle down and put some passes together, both teams had some moments in the first half but we were lucky to break to through when Audrey Rogan crossed for Sara Tyler to head home with about 10 minutes left . In the second half VJM came out a little stronger than us and we had to deal with some longer shots and also rely on a great clearance infront of the goal from Tavi Copestick to maintain our lead. Our depth began to really pay off and Mia Cairone was able to slip a pass through to Audrey Rogan for the clinching goal.
It's been a long week with 3 games in 4 days, and after the late loss last night it's always tough to tell how a team would bounce back, but I have to give credit to the girls for working through todays game even though they were tired and frustrated at times. Our depth was crucial today, we played 20 girls to try and keep things fresh, I thought Addison Martin and Keagen Terry gave us some really good minutes, as well as Sarina Igval up front. Audrey Rogan has been a constant source of energy for us this season and today was no different, she really deserved her goal at the end of the game.
