Hopkins and York Took Advantage!

Soccer is a game of possession, but the winner MUST score. You may not have many chances on goal so when you do you must capitolize. We did not do that this week and our opponets did. The hopkins score doesn't reflect the game at all. It is a result of 5 minutes of breakdown defensively and of not finishing our chances offensively. With 4 minutes remaining in the first half it was 0-0 and we each had about the same amount of shots on goal. One breakdown led to them scoring a cheap goal and then while we were still frustrated they came right back and scored another. We hit the cross bar twice, had 3 1 vs with the goalie and a free kick that was everything but finished. But that is the name of the game....finishing. The best thing that came from this game was that yes we were frustrated with the loss but we walked away knowing we shouldn't have lost. And that we can compete with a nationally ranked team. We hope to see them again in NCAA's and seek revenge!

Speaking of revenge York came to our new stadium on a mission. They had yet to win a game this season and came out with a very impressive energy and fire. They scored early on and at half time we told our girls that they just weren't playing hard enough to win this game. Yes we are the better team, but they want it more. Second half we came out just as intense and it made for a great game, but once again we couldn't quite finish. The conference loss was very upsetting but it is something we will remember and take with us into future games.
