The semi-final game vs. Salisbury was a battle. At half time the score was 0-0 and neither team had much luck going to goal. It was a physical match throughout and one of our top defenders Taylor Zimmerman took a cleat to the head early on. She played brilliantly the remainder of the game, but is now unfortunately out with a concussion. That being said the girls played their hearts out and about 20 minutes into the second half, Allison Humphries was able to get a head on another one of Julie Dempsey's perfect corner kicks. This goal counted unlike the one about 5 minutes before that the linesman called back because we were offsides. With Alli's goal, Salisbury started to come harder and harder. The suspense was intense and the clock couldn't tick fast enough as we sat on the bench watching and hoping the girls would remain strong. Steph Eyler finally gave us some breathing room when she was able to challenge Salisbury's Keeper on a 50-50 ball. She deflected the keepers kick and with the goalie out was able to finish from a tough angle giving us the 2-0 lead. The girls managed the clock beautifully and much to Salisbury's frustration we came out victors once again. We are now heading into the post season championship. Tomorrow at 1pm here in Owings Mills we will take on Frostburg University for the second time this year. It is going to be the hardest game of the season. The girls are prepared mentally and physically and I know they are as hungry as I am for the title. If you have any free time tomorrow come support our women as they fight for the Championship! If we win we get an automatic bid into the NCAA's which will be quite an experience for our ladies. Wish us the best and I will keep you posted!
