RSSC Thunder 1 – Blue Water Lakers 0
Thunder are on a roll. Sunday Thunder’90 played to a 1-0 victory over Blue Water Lakers out of Marine City. In contrast to Saturdays very tight match, today’s match featured more wide open play, more ball movement and more opportunities at goal (also more counter-attacks... yikes!).
The one that counted though, came in the 13th minute when Olivia Kramer got a step on her defender from the right flank, took the ball in to goal and sent a strong shot toward far post. The shot glanced off a defenders leg in a failed attempt to clear, and with the keeper now leaning to the far post area, the ball deflected to near post and in for goal.
More excellent scoring opportunities were created over the course of the match, but none converted. Meanwhile, Jessica Munson and Emily Liles were both called upon to come up with big saves in their turn, and combined for the shutout.
By the end of the match, the sun had set and a full moon had climbed up over the tree-line. Thunder fought to the very end and in the end, came up with a well earned victory.
This capped an excellent weekend of soccer for the Thunder’90 team. Two excellent showings against two quality opponents and, happily, two very nice results to show for the effort. Next weekend we hit the road to face North Macomb Fireballs on Saturday and Flint Steelers Hurricanes on Sunday.
This week we train hard to prepare. Show up ready to work.
Well done Thunder. Keep up the great work and keep your focus.
