On this Monday I saw football played. The Lady Generals traveled to Hinesville to take on the Lady Highlanders of FPCA. The first goal of the match came from a Rachel Swilley cross (right to left). Samantha Sloan running to goal scored the one touch goal high into the net. Sloan would net another assisted by Christina Martin. Christina would assist again as Carley Alley would have to goal on day as a result of a continued run and bodying in the football. All working goals, but reminiscent of the loss on Friday Samantha Sloan would seal off a defender dropping the ball back to a willing and ready Erin Redshaw who would chip the keeper from on outside the 18. Contributing as well as Augusta Guthrie in net only allowing one goal and stopping a penalty kick.
On the defensive end of the ball Rebekah is finding her place with the fullbacks assisting fellow classmates Talissa Sampson along with veterans Erin Redshaw and Pamela Brown. Anyone who knows anything about the games will tell you that so many games are won and lost in the midfield and ours is showing signs of strengthening. Amy Clonce moving up when called along with Carli Alley, Casey Alley, and Kailynn (not sure on that spelling) Jeffords are solidifying our midfield that will be critical to our success in the future.
The Lady Generals are learning to play more physical, they are maintaining focus as well as taking better care of the ball. This will be essential in what looks to be the biggest match of the season thus far for the Ladies as they take on the Lady Panthers of Tiftarea Tuesday afternoon at 5:00 PM in an effort to qualify for the playoffs. See you at the Pitch.
