| | U10 CSA Strikers take 2nd Place for the First Session at Wide World of Indoor Sports | | | Wow! What a night at Wide World of Indoor Sports. The U10 Girls "A" Division team started off the playoffs against NSU. NSU scored first and then the CSA Strikers scored to tie things up. Towards the end of the 25 minute match the Strikers scored a second goal and moved on to the next round against WFF (Warwick Fire Fighters).
Another great match with both the WFF and CSA scoring a goal a piece and going into a shoot-out with PK's. Both goalkeepers made some great saves and things were still tied up after the first three shooters from both teams. WFF went up for the fourth shot and missed, it was up to the Strikers to which we put our faith in Peyton's hands (or should I say her foot) and she did not let us down. Peyton scored the winning goal and we went on to play Cumberland yet again in a Playoff Final.
Cumberland has a a great team of girls and we had just played against them in the MLK Tournament Finals and were the first team to beat them since indoor started. Now we were to play against them again in the completion of the first session playoff final.
Cumberland scored a very good goal after about 15 minutes of the first half and were ahead at the half by 1-0. In the second half the ball went back and fourth and Jordon scored after about 12 minutes to tie things up. Both teams had their chances to score an additional goal but the defense from both teams played very well and when the offense got past them, both keepers were there to make the saves.
The score at the end of regulation play ended up as CSA Strikers 1 Cumberland 1 and we went into 5 minutes of Sudden Death overtime. The same as we had done at the MLK Tournament except this time Cumberland held us off and the score at the end of overtime was still CSA Strikers 1 Cumberland 1.
Now it was time for another PK Shoot-out. Cumberland Scored first and although CSA made a great shot to the left corner it wasn't quite powerful enough and the keeper got her hand to the ball. Cumberland went up again and scored and now CSA had to score or it was all over. Lauren H took a deep breath and shot with her left (she's normally right footed) and placed the ball perfectly into the right corner, but unfortunatley the keeper made another great save for Cumberland. Hence Cumberland won in the shoot-out 2-0.
Both teams played the game of their lives and if it was up to the coaches, I believe we all agreed that both teams deserved to win. However; there can only be one winner and today it was Cumberlands time.
I am very proud of our girls and although ALL girls played very well Coach Mike, Coach Dave and Myself (Coach Steve) agreed that Lauren H was the CSA Strikers MVP.
Onto Session II...
Keep up the good work Ladies!
