On October 3rd of 2012 Lisbon Middle School Girls Soccer played
against Cony at home and won 4x0. It was a rainy afternoon and the Hounds
displayed great individual talent and teamwork to overcome the difficulties of
a muddy field and do everything right.
Defense played passionately to control the few attempts of
the adversary to get close to our goal. Most of the game was played on Cony’s
part of the field, but our fullbacks knew how stop the opponent’s forwards when
necessary, including sweeper Sydney Douglass, stopper Sarah Daigle, left
fullback Ciera Miller and right fullback Zoe Feehan. Right fullback Emma
Lavesque and left fullback Emily McIntosh also helped our defense to keep the
shutout.
Lisbon won the battle for the middle. Centre midfielder Chandler
Riordan played with aggressiveness to win the air balls and disarm the rival in
the middle. Rookie Amanda Storman played her best in the season so far,
fighting for every ball in the middle and making excellent passes to our
forwards. Right midfielder Jasmin Le and left Midfielder Anna Willey also played
tirelessly in the middle to help Lisbon win the battle.
Hounds offensive line just did everything right today. They
did everything we practiced during the week in the game. During the whole game
they displayed confidence, precision and effectiveness. Right wing Conchita
Thomas played boldly and scored two goals. The first one, still in the first
half, by dribbling past two defenders and crossing the ball from the right to
the far post, and the second one, in the second half, by taking a shot from the
eighteen after receiving a precise assist from left wing Kelsea Tilley. Left
wing Hope Morse scored Hound’s second goal, in the second half, by crossing the
ball from the left to the far post after fighting for a rebound inside the box.
The fourth goal came when left wing Hope Morse and right wing Emma Houle
decided to show how in tune they are with each other: square ball from Hope to
Emma, through ball from Emma back to Hope, shot in goal by Hope blocked by the
goalie, rebound found by Emma, who was following the line of the ball, that
ended up in the net.
As Lisbon’s coach, I saw today all I want to see my team
doing on the field.
Lisbon Middle School Girls’ next game is on October 4th,
receiving Gardiner at home.
Coach Juliani
