EGR splits double header with Div III arch rival Edsel Ford HS
Wake up in the morning and shake my head
6:30 in the parking lot - legs feeling like lead
Travel to Dearborn and field some hockey balls
Thats why at EGR FH we stand tall
That was the story on Saturday September 25, 2010. EGR FH (5-3-0) started the first game by dominating the game and had a number fo scoring opportunities but it felt like Edsel Ford (3-3-1) had "cast a spell on the net." We did everything, pushed up on defense, dominated by controlling the mid field and entered Edsel Ford 'sacred circle" at will, but the ball just would not go in. Hit the post a couple of times. In the second half, a well executed play by Edsel Ford resulted in the ball entering our goal. That was the story of the first game.
The second game started like the first game with Edsel Ford scoring twice in the first ten minutes as we struggled with fatigue and away game sloppyness. Our team took a time out and decided to "silence" a spectator who was crying for Edsel Ford (4-3-1) to crush EGR (5-4-0). Well, we dont just lay down, do we? EGR returned on the field and Libby Mason scored an unassisted penalty corner goal that was a perfectly executed insertion by Krusty (Kristy Allen), perfect stop and roll by Katerboom (Kate Brondyk) and a back board resounding smash by Libby. This goal brought on a new spirt to EGR and the team scored twice more with a goal by Alex Kuske assisted by Sarah Zezima and a game winning goal by Krusty off a superb pass by Kate. The team rallied around this comeback with some great goal tending by Lena Henderson, and strong defense by Anna Petko, Sami Condi, Alexa Smeby, Libby Best. Madison Scheper, Megan McConnel, Megan Elderkin, Hanna Schnider kept the wings moving and Erica Rankin kept frustrating the EF star forward with some deft moves and strong tackling. Chandler Filion kept the team warm on the sidelines with her warm cheers. Over all - team work coupled with a strong will to win - that defined the day.
