with the squad depleted through Diwali, AYSO, forgotten cleats and trips to see Wicked, TG turned up at the Morgan Hill Soccer Complex with just 11 players. KK started for the 1st time in ages but had to sub out quickly. Fortunately the girl who forgot her cleats had just arrived.
Before the game started, the girls found JJ who had just played on the same field. There were hugs and possibly some tears
Coach Jon had just watched the Lynx win 5-0 so the pressure at the top of the table was back on.
TG started at high speed. Crosses and shots were flying aound the OV box within minutes, but it took until about the 10 minute mark to break the deadlock. Ysa broke down the right and clipped a nice right foot shot into the far corner of the net. Alexia followed with a carbon copy goal a few minutes later. The OV goalkeeper was not retreating quickly after making punts. This turned out to be a bad strategy when one of her kicks went to Cali who sent the ball straight back over her head for another goal. There was a 4th goal in the 1st half.... can't remember who got it. Oh, and the TACO corner worked great with Addie getting a perfect cross in front of the goals
Second Half - the wind got up a bit and was against TG. However, the ball stayed almost entirely in the OV half of the field. Two more goals followed. One from Jes, her first for TG and what a sweet way to start with a stonking left foot drive high into the net. Hannah finished the scoring with a right foot volley into the right of the net from a corner kick.
