Middle School Girls Soccer, 10/18/12, PWS vs Winthrop‏

On October 18^th of 2012 Lisbon Middle School Girls Soccer played against Winthrop at home and won 2x1 remaining undefeated for the fourth game in a row. Lisbon started behind on the score board after a goal snuck in during the first half but turned the game around by tying up the match at the end of the first half and scoring the winning goal in the second half.

 Hound’s defense did not see a lot of action since most of the game was played on Winthrop’s side of the field, but when the ball came to their side they knew what to do. Stopper Sarah Daigle fought for every ball that passed the middle in front of our defense and Left Fullback Ciera Miller blocked the game in the left side. Sweeper Sydney Douglass kicked many balls away from our defense and even helped the offense by doing her awesome flip-throw-in.

 

The battle for the middle field was won by Lisbon’s warriors once more. Captain Chandler Riordan stepped in to put her foot on every ball that passed the middle, and Right Mid Amanda Storman played an excellent game stopping the game on her side and transporting the ball from the middle to the offense. Left Mid Jasmin Le played her best game of the season so far, disarming the opponent and shielding the ball until she could find a team mate to pass to.

Greyhound’s attackers worked hard to penetrate the congested rival’s defense and win the game. After trying over and over again in different ways, the goals finally came. Forward Conchita Thomas scored the first one by chipping the ball over the goalie executing a free kick close to the eighteen. The second goal, already in the second half, came when Striker Kipri Steele received a perfect assist from Left Wing Hope Morse and put the ball with class and precision in close to the right post. Right Wing Emma Houle also helped our offense playing fearlessly and making good crosses.

Lisbon Middle School Girls’ next game is on October 21^st, facing Monmouth on their turf.
