RSSC Lightning 6 – LOBOS 0
Lightning capped off an outstanding season against the visiting Lobos Sunday with and equally outstanding outing. Once again, the goals came from all directions (four different players scoring – even more assisting). The highlight of the match (but how do you choose among them?) may well have been the first goal served in by Maddie from the right wing. Maria, with a brilliant run into the space to get on the end of it, volleyed it from knee-high with her left foot to bang it home into the side panel. Very lovely.
Bella & Maria combined once more in net minding duties to earn the team shutout. Defense was key once again as LOBOS were unable to sustain any sort of attack nor, indeed, to even get shots off that posed any real threat.
Girls, you have put together just a magnificent season for yourselves. All your hard work in training and on your own has shown up all season long on the game field. The wins are nice. But that is just the byproduct of the real success, which is this – you are learning how the game works and you are playing lovely soccer. The things I see when I watch you play are how I measure your success:
Deft touches.
Great passes to feet or to space for a teammate to run onto.
Eyes up to look for options BEFORE you have the ball.
Looking for each other off the ball.
Moving for each other off the ball.
Using the whole field and not just the bit between the goalposts
Talking to each other. Giving each other information.
Ball movement.
Take-on moves.
When I see these things, THAT’S when I say to myself “these girls are succeeding”. And I have seen a lot of that this season – and more & more of it as the season has progressed. And THAT is why you should be very proud of yourselves, girls. You have worked very hard. Hard work begets success. And yours is well earned.
Great job.
Great team.
Excellent well done. I’m very proud of every one of you.
