At Yerington 9/13

Dayton Girls Soccer played away at Yerington today and won 7-0.  Without our starting forward and leading goal scorer Maribel, and also not having Amber on the left midfield because of an injury, we had a bit of a slow start.  We also had to pull out our right midfielder Devon for an ankle injury early in the game; but when we pulled up Heather from the defense to play forward things started happening.  Savannah scored first in the 25th minute.  Then Susie scored 5 minutes later, but this was just the beginning for Susie.  Susie assisted Heather in a goal in the 34th minute and then again assisted Heather in another goal in the 37th minute to close out the first half.  Five minutes into the second half, in the 45th minute Susie scored again with an assist from Magda.  In the 71st minute Susie drew a foul in the box coming off a breakaway and was rewarded a penalty kick.  Natasha took the PK and scored.  Two minutes later later Susie scored again in the 73rd minute for a final score of 7-0.

Natasha played Keeper the first half and had 1 save.  Miranda played Keeper the second half and made 3 saves.  I was happy with the team's performance.  It was good to see our younger and newer players get a lot of playing time and make smart plays and fight for the ball.  On the defense, Magda and Savannah came up big as usual and Heather played an incredible game as well both defensively and offensively.  I was also very pleased with DJ and Cassidy who stepped up to play positions that I haven't played them in much.
