NGSA Stampede (2) vs. Derry (4)
A much more solid game for the Stampede today on the sprinkler head
infested field in Auburn.
Derry picked up a quick goal on a breakaway, but the Stampede
counted with a very well set up goal. Nicole received the ball in
the box, slid a pass to Lindsay on the left side near the goal line.
Lindsay beat one defender and slotted a pass to Michelle, parked
in front of the net, and she touched int he first goal.
In the second half, with the game knotted at 1 all, Derry came out
strong. They had an excellent defender and and excellent forward
(much like Timberlane). Derry picked up 3 more goals (one another
breakaway from their strong forward, one a looping high shot that
Melissa could do nothing about and another that was simply very well
done).
Although the Stampede started looking a little tired, the Lindsay and
Michelle combination came through again with Lindsay nicely setting up
Michelle for the second goal.
Nicole and Alex each had good shots that went just over the bar.
Amy was brilliant in center defense, cutting off at least two possible
breakaways for Derry and Katie D had one of her strongest games yet.
