Game Result Girls Soccer PWS Middle School x Richmond‏

On October 1st of 2012 Lisbon Middle School Girls Soccer played against Richmond at home and lost 1x0. It was an even match, both teams went back and forth, Greyhounds played an awesome game and showed a huge improvement from the last game against Richmond when the score was 0x7 for Richmond.

Defense did an awesome job stopping the skilled and aggressive Richmond forwards and keeping the ball away from our goal. The game was played mostly in Lisbon's defense, so our fullbacks had to work hard till the end of the game to keep the opponent from scoring more goals, including Captain Chandler Riordan and stopper Sarah Daigle, left fullback Conchita Thomas and right fullback Sydney Douglass. Hound's goalie Ali Sult did an excellent job defending many shots and even stopping a penalty kick.

Midfielders did their best to disarm the opponent and connect with our forwards. The game was played fast in the middle, and Hound's midfielders ran back and forth trying to make a difference, including center midfielder Amanda Storman, who almost score a goal, left midfielder Kelsea Tilley and right midfielder Jasmin Le.

Lisbon's forwards worked together and created some nice and clear opportunities to score. In this match, unfortunately none of them ended up in the net, but it is encouraging to think what they will do in the next games. Left wing Hope Morse gave two precise assists, right wing Emma Houle used her speed to carry the ball in the right side and make passes to her team mates and striker Kipri Steele articulated the ball very well trying to find an opportunity for a clear shot and making Richmond's defense work a lot.

Lisbon Middle School Girls' next game is on October 3rd at home, in a rematch vs. Cony.
