Mendota Recap

Tonight the Lady Reapers battled Mendota.  It was a very windy, very cold match.  Last year, Mendota beat us 0-7.  We knew they were a good team, but the team really relied on one key player for their offense.  Tonight Mendota's play again filtered through their key player, which we had a hard time shutting down.  The final score of the match was 0-5, and that one player was responsible for 4 of their goals.  However, despite the score, I walked away from this game proud of our girls because we possessed the ball tonight.  We were intentional about passing and creating offensive possession.  I saw a lot of good things that I had not seen from our girls in prior matches which really got me excited.  So, girls, do get down, be proud of the progress we made tonight.  The girls worked very hard and I am proud of their efforts tonight.

The JV battled on to a victory, beating Mendota 1-0 in their match.  Again the jv were able to create many good opportunities on the offense which allowed Claudia Macias to put one in the back of the net.  Way to go girls!!
