We drove down to Palm Beach to play on the only field they have access to this year…it was…a field, but both teams had to deal with it so might as well play eh.  On time and in schedule with most of our games this year was our delay of game due to incremental weather.   Washing the uniforms this year has been a disaster with all the wet and muddy conditions.   No really…it’s gross!
 
So we started about 20 after 7pm, not bad.  We were missing some key forwards and weren’t too sure how that would affect our game, but it didn’t seem make a difference.  We moved the ball really well this game, and our team really looked like they came out ready and had a mission.  Our first goal was completely the result of Meagan Zusi’s hard work and hustle in there.  She has been all over the field for us this season.  In the 24th minute a cross looked like it was going to sail over and go out just outside the 6 at an angle, but Zusi didn’t stop her run and on the line turned her body at full pace and headed it back in the mix where Elise Larrett ran through it into the goal! 
 
One goal in and both teams still battle it out pretty hard; the losing team wants to counter and the team ahead wants to solidify their lead.  In the 28th minute there were a lot of girls in the box and the ball was getting tossed around and snuck out of the group when Kate Begley ran out, turned and chipped a nice little shot into the back corner of the net over everybody.  It was one of those “did that go in” goals. 
 
Half time came and it was quick to try and make up time from starting late.   It would have seemed like there were going to be no goals scored in the second half until our third goal which graced us at the 90th minute when their keeper was off her line and Lindsey DeLorenze sailed a left footer over her head from about 35 yards out. 
 
Do I even have to say anything about our defense at this point.  Well done ladies, once again Ellen, Claire, Katie, and Heather have proven that it’s going to take A LOT to get past them!  Keep it up!

Come watch us take on Thomasville July 4th at 5:00pm, hot dogs, hamburgers, drinks, moonbounce, soccer….sounds like fun right?
