Mother's Day Battle
A Happy Mothers Day to all soccer moms who support our players unconditionally. We know moms make it all work. This game is dedicated to you!
Opening
From the start of the first whistle, the Lady Gunners took control of possession, and ultimately the game. It was clear Cordage SC plays a direct style of soccer, sending long balls over the top behind our defense. Gunners adjusted accordingly, prevented the ball from bouncing, and reduced the danger. At the half, it was a 1-0 lead for the Gunners, the goal scored by Lexis from a converted free-kick.
2nd Half- Final Result
At halftime, our team discussed the positive points surrounding the possession game that put us in the driver's seat, and lots of encouragement to take more shots. The Lady Gunners picked up where they left off, created even more scoring opportunities through combination plays from the midfield. Lexis converted a penalty to close out the game, with 2-0 win.
Lady Gunners played a complete game against a physically strong team. Every Gunner has lots to be proud of, not only for the win but for the way they played. Defensively, the team got behind the ball quickly to pressure the ball, transition to offense was done consistently by stringing together 5-10 passes.
Every player performed well for this game honestly. The two outstanding performers were Maddie and Lilly. Maddie was instrumental in the middle controlling play with poise, distributing the ball well. Lilly played in the center of defense, disrupted dangerous attacked with controlled aggression, then made quick sound decisions to find midfielders from the back. 
Congrats to you both on a well-deserved Players of the Match Award!!
