Lady Gunners vs. Franklin SC

 Sunday, Oct. 17, 2021 | Princeton, MA 

COVID 
 An unfortunate infection of COVID kept the head coach away from the sidelines for this match. This game's perspective is based on watching it on film after it was played. 

Opening 
This game started off a bit shaky for the Lady Gunners because Franklin simply had more intensity and confidence. It seems as if there was an immediate disadvantage for that simple reason. The other aspect is Franklin is opportunistic, and clinical at finishing those. At the half a 2-0 deficit for the Gunners with some questions to answer. 
2nd Half- Final Result
At halftime, concern was regarding Gunner's ability to respond. Although down 2-0, the game was far from being over.  As the Lady Gunners got back out, the game got away from them. The single most prevalent aspect was Franklin's physicality!  They basically man-handled the Lady Gunners, and stamped a 3-0 win out of sheer desire and devotion to win. 

Players of the Match
From this game's review, there were two players who had outstanding performances. Gabby: live wire, full of energy, provide a spark and hope for her team to stay in with her consistent runs on the wing, and creativity around the goal. Lilly: stood strong in the middle of park, was able to simply establish a dominant presence with her physical play, and ability to launch attacks for her team. 

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