On September 27^th of 2012 Lisbon Middle School Girls Soccer played against Maranacook on their field and lost 2x1. Lisbon dominated the entire match but unfortunately let Maranacook win the game in the last two minutes.

Defense kept a wall up most of the game, left fullback Sydney and right fullback Conchita Thomas did a good job closing the side lanes and not allowing the opponent to play through the sides, and center fullback Chandler Riordan and Stopper Sarah Daigle did not allowed the play to get close to our goalie, except for a free kick and penalty kick two minutes to the end.

“You guys are losing the battle for the middle,” said Maranacook’s coach, and he was right, Lisbon won the battle for the middle. The ball would bounce once in the middle and then end up on one of our midfielder’s feet, and from their feet to one of our forward’s feet. Our warriors in the middle were right midfielders Jasmin Le, rookie center midfielder Amanda Storman and left midfielder Anna Willey.

Like Hounds last games, our forwards created many goal situations. They are really getting used to playing with each other and having fun playing together. It was rewarding to see so many good passes between them and several clear situations of goal. As a result of this good work, Hounds’ center forward Kipri Steele, not giving up and playing the miss of the opponent, had a breakaway and put the ball in the net chipping the ball with her left leg over the goalie.

Lisbon Middle School Girls’ next game is on October 1^st at home, against Richmond.
