RSSC Lightning 3 – GPSA Breakers 0 Mary Jo takes the shotOn a brisk and cool autumn afternoon, Lightning continued their team oriented play as five different players contributed to the three goals and two assists delivered this match. Team communication continues to improve and use of support was much more in evidence today than at any point of the season thus far. In particular, it was very good to see us finally using the goalkeeper as an option to relieve pressure when facing our own goal. I have been waiting for weeks to finally start seeing this aspect of play. Nice job! The two traits that Lightning have consistently shown a great aptitude for, ball movement and player movement off the ball, continued to show up all over the field among all the players. On top of excellent possession and a strong attacking game, Lightning were absolutely on form defensively. Shots and chances at goal were limited to precious few for the Breakers, and behind the strong goalkeeping of Bella and Kari, the team earned their second league shutout of the season. Every match has shown growth and improvement, girls. It is a result of your hard work and dedication to training. Let’s keep focused. We play Breakers again this weekend, so you know they’ll be gunning for us. Let’s head on down to Grosse Pointe and take care of our game. The rest will take care of itself. Well done, girls. I’m very proud of you.
