Rochester Pride - RSC Lightning '96

RSSC Lightning 4 – LOBOS 2 Lobos came out strong today and gave Lightning a very strong challenge. Both teams played attractive attacking soccer and displayed excellent individual skill as well as great ball movement among the teams. Lobos struck first and scored early to take the lead. Lightning tied it up several minutes later and then pulled ahead 2-1. But before halftime Lobos drew level again and carried a 2-2 tied score into halftime. Lightning came out for the second half, still looking strong and took great advantage of their opportunities. The go ahead goal came off a restart taken by Bella and served across the face of the goal and rang off the far post. Meanwhile, Kari who was attacking the far post in time with Bella’s service, knocked the rebounding ball directly out of the air into the back of the net for the score. The insurance goal Came from a Carley Harvey corner kick that was half cleared right back to Carley on the extreme right flank. Carley drove a low driven cross through the box and MaryJo, perfectly positioned on the far post coolly redirected the cross into the open net to finish the bang-bang play. It was a very nice win on a fantastic full team effort against a good, strong opponent. EXCELLENT game girls. Keep up the great work. .
