Rochester Pride - RSC Lightning '96

Thunder 1 - GPSA Mustangs 0 Another quality showing for Thunder’90. The team carried play for most of the afternoon and created excellent opportunities throughout the match. I like how we are doing a better job of switching the point of attack and looking for the target players and trying to get that ball played to them once it's on. We had several chances that way. Keep working it that way, girls, and the payoff will be there. I guarantee it. Even so, Mustangs were able to hold us off the scoreboard for the 1st half. The game winner came about 15 minutes into the second half when Hillary collected a half-cleared ball from about 15 yards out, then took a calm prep-touch and scored the lone goal with a lovely strike (right footed, I might add) up and over the keeper and into the upper-ninety on the back post. Emily and Jessica combined for the shutout, each providing a solid turn in the goal and out on the field. Jessica has been punting the ball so hard and far that I am surprised the ball doesn’t bust! Please note: Saturday’s match agaainst San Marino has been bumped back two hours to start at 6:00pm (5:15 field time) at Firefighter's Park, Field #5. Also, the 31 May match against Mustangs that was postponed due to weather has now been been set for Thursday, 12 June @ 7:00pm (6:15 field time). Location is the same (Barnes Fields in Grosse Pointe). ALSO – today is Tenealle’s birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TENEALLE! Great job team. 2 games left and you are looking better and better with each outing. Keep up the great work.
