Lady Gunners_2022: Lady Gunners vs Scorpions FC

Sunday Oct. 31, 2021 | Princeton, MA

Happy Holloween

Rain has been pouring down as if it's late Spring this past week, putting our game at risk of not being played due to field conditions. With an early morning field check, a determined manager with a leaf blower backpack drying out certain areas, all agreed to make it happen!

Opening

Playing on a very narrow field, the Lady Gunners were suffocating the opposition with pressure all over the field. Once they won the ball, the Ladies attacked with purpose. Several opportunities were created with quality shots taken. At halftime, a commanding 4-0 lead was reflective of their overall performance.

2nd Half- Final Result

At halftime, our discussion addressed the success from the hard work of the center mids, which disrupted most potential build-ups from the Scorpions. However, a bit of concern for silly mistakes out of the back needed to be cleaned up.

The second half actually was more challenging than the first, with the Scorpions' determination to be more physical, and apply more pressure on the ball. As usual, the Lady Gunners being a resilient bunch, responded well with equal intensity and physicality. In the end, it was a 7-0 victory for the Lady Gunners, which honestly did not feel that way, because the Scorpions were way more competitive than the score showed...(to their defense, they played without a goalie).

Players of the Match
Our first outstanding performer has no statistics to measure her effort, simply our recognition for their tireless contribution. Aubrey- limitless resilience, effective wing play, and consistency on both ends of the ball earn her the honors this game! Courtney- who has worked so hard to improve her play, asked inquiring questions, then executed her far post-run as instructed, and was rewarded with a goal.
