RSSC Lightning 2 – Lobos 1
Lightning traveled to Clarkson for the second league match against Lobos. The grass on the game field was uncommonly long which would make for a much slower game than normal. As in the first match Lobos scored first but Lightning remained unrattled and as they began to adjust to the field conditions, their usual great team play and communication begain to shine through and they established control of the match play and pace. Lightning equalized before halftime as Maria beat her defender to create a breakaway and made no mistake with the finish.
The game winner came in the second half on a lovely restart 20 yard out to the right of goal. MaryJo played the touch to Bella who served a textbook ball to the far post area where Shannon got on the end of it with a perfectly timed run to one-timed the ball home. Lightning kept the pressure on for the majority of the match and what chance Lobos might create were thwarted by the stubborn defense and the shot-stopping on Clary in the net.
It was another fine team win to keep the fantastic spring season going for this exceptional team.
