The ladies played very, very well--all of them. Girls came in off the bench early & played a lot.
The team moved the ball really well, lots of sharp one touch passing. Great chemistry on this team with very unselfish play.
Corner Kicks--this should make the dentist happy. We scored 3 Goals off corner kicks. No exaggeration, I don't think that we've scored 3 goals off corners in the last 3 years. It has been a real weakness to which the dentist & I have often pointed. And we have scored 5 Goals off corners in our first 5 games--unbelievable, & hopefully a harbinger of things to come. The serves have been better & the girls have been very quick, strong & aggressive in the box & around the Goal.
As mentioned, I thought that all the girls played very well. To mention a few: Thought Kassidy Banks had a very solid game--though she didn't have to defend against a strong attack too often she made good decisions with the ball & moved it very well. Seemed more sure of herself.
Arianna Kuryla started at OB & played very well. Excellent decisions & moved the ball very well.
Kaylie Daigle played very well. Last year her 1st move with the ball was to look to dribble, often loosing it. This year she is moving it quickly with excellent one touch passes. She is playing with confidence & it shows. I can see why ho26rus told me last year that she was a good one. Her goal off her corner kick was terrific, curled it right into the top far corner. If Kaylie starts to find the back of the net it will make our O that much more dangerous & more difficult to contain.
Temple transfer Haley Gutkowski off the bench looks like a player, & a scorer. If she is, that makes us even more potent & dangerous.
Cant speak to the play of each & every girl though each deserves recognition it in their own right. Can say that only one starting field player is a senior--Allie Lynch & she has a graduate year if she wants it. All the other girls are juniors & sophomores, including Emma Misal here, who by the way expects to be back soon, & all have an extra covid year of eligibility. So this team will stay together & be around a while.
Seven different girls scored the seven goals, that's without either Allie Lowrey, Riley Tiernan, or Sarah Brocius getting any. This team is scoring by committee with several girls being able to find the back of the net.
Couldn't resist one last thought-- Sam Kroeger came flying in like a bullet on our first corner & headed it in. And her play all over the pitch is really something to watch. Sam is something else, what else can you say.
GO RU!!! Beat Princeton!!!
