Lady Gunners v. Legacy Pride

 

May 23rd, 2021 | Princeton, MA

First of a Double Header Day

With yet another key player missing, it is the norm to play without a full squad at this point. Next Lady Gunner up should be our mantra. Legacy Pride dominated, won against the Lady Gunners last season. Let's see how this one goes...

Opening 

Legacy Pride started well, with so many of their players possessing individual skills. Taking on defenders seemed to be their strength. Lady Gunners were disciplined, keeping them at bay. At the half, it was a 0-0 deadlock, a fair score with their keeper making a great full stretched save from a well-struck freekick by Lexi.

2nd Half- Final Result

At halftime, the Lady Gunners were encouraged to create more scoring opportunities, such as corner kicks, shots, crosses, and freekicks. However, Legacy was far more creative in that sense. True to their resilient character, the Lady Gunners withstood the pressure. Towards the end, the Gunners were knocking on the door to score, but this one ended in a scoreless tie. 

Players of the Match
A phenomenal team effort, from defenders shutting down attackers, midfielders creating chances, and forwards taking scoring attempts well. The two outstanding performers were Lydia and Bailey.

Lydia was instrumental in her poised control, ball distribution in the center of the park. She consistently anchored her team's attacks all game.  Bailey was physical, sharp at disrupting crosses and shots, and recovered with surgical precision. 

Congrats to you both on a well-deserved Players of the Match Award!!
