0-0 v MVLA

TG decided to have an off day, which combined with the crowded Cobras defence meant we didn't get many shots on goal either. We got more than them, and the final 10 minutes was frantic with TG pounding the Cobras penalty box with crosses and corners, but the ball wouldn't run for us and we couldn't get the final touch to get the ball into the net.


6-0 win v. Alpine Raptors

TG were super intense on sunday afternoon in Portola Valley. It was a gorgeous afternoon and a beautiful setting for the game. TG dominated from the kick off but struggled to find their free flowing fast soccer due to the small size of the field. However, after 15 minutes or so, the small field contributed to our first goal. Tess was back to her normal self after a sluggish game on saturday and was constantly stealing the ball from the Raptors midfield. On this occassion she made the steal, poked the ball between 2 Raptors players then hit one of those Tess big guns over the keeper and into the corner of the net. Roger was seen handing out high 5s to anyone who would accept. Olivia scored the second, following up her own vertical punt which the Raptors defence struggled to deal with, leading to a tap in for O. Ysa dribbled through 27 players for the 3rd and then it was half time. Carrie came out of goal for the second half and played forward. Olivia went in goal. Carrie proceeded to terrorise the left defence zone for the Raptors, sprinting passed their left D on many occassions and sending in huge right foot bombs either as shots or crosses. Eventually Hannah got a tap in for 4-0, Ysa added another for 5-0, and Celine smashed one into the roof of the net from 5 inches out for 6-0. Everyone played much better than on saturday. Carly is getting more confident and stronger with every game, Paola is settling nicely into the team, Amani, Addie and Yoshi are getting back to more consistent play

Four games to go and we've exceed the .500 status we were aiming for.
