Lady Gunners v MAF 2

 

June 6th, 2021 | Princeton, MA


Season Final Game
It has been a season of progress, focuses on the process, and allowing results to take of themselves. Excuses are never allowed, mindset is everything, and the fundamental rules include going through the process with joy, without overthinking on game days. 
Opening 
MAF has a determined team, ready to strike whenever given the opportunity. They found a way to take an early lead on the Lady Gunners.  It is a bit concerning considering the number of times the Lady Gunners have allowed opponents to lead. However, the response was resilient, and timely as the Gunners leveled the score. 
2nd Half- Final Result
At halftime, sound defending was the major topic, along with the opponent's tendency to go direct once they passed midfield.  The Lady Gunners did a great job possessing the ball, stringing together passes out of the midfield. After going up 3-2, the Ladies were unable to protect their lead as MAF scored late from another corner kick to level it at 3-3 for a final score. 


Players of the Match
The two outstanding performers were Bayley who quietly continued to shut down attacking players on her side, and Lilly who was outstanding in the center of defense, controlling most of the game consistently for her side. A doubtful knee did not keep Lilly sidelined! 

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