Back to the League

3-0 victory over LG Lynx.

Following the distraction of winning a tournament and then a week with no game, TG returned to Fall league duty with a game worthy of top billing this weekend. TG and the Lynx both had 100% records going into this game so something had to give. Certainly this was TG's toughest challenge of the season so far and the first half finished goaless despite Lulu smashing a shot against the crossbar. And for the first time this Fall, our goalkeepers had some work to do... there were actually shots on our goal today. But still no goals against. And, TG really took control in the second half with Ysa, Lulu, and Cali firing crosses into the Lynx penalty box - eventually Alexia was in the right place and despite only being 2 feet out, she smashed the ball high into the Lynx net. Soon it was 2-0 as Ysa picked up a loose ball and sent it over the Lynx keeper. TG then had to put in some strong defence as the Lynx sent most of their team forward, but the girls stood strong and forced the ball away each time. TG then made it 3-0 with another sustained period of attacking... again the ball flew across the Lynx goal and Carrie put it in with her left foot at the 2nd attempt.

The table looks good tonight
