Ten minutes in to the game, our starting goalie, Alexis Sheffey, took an accidental kick to the head and had to come out. We were already down two starters with Bre Shumate injured and Sarah Alderman sick.
Then, we sent Savannah Swecker to goal. This is the first time she has played soccer since third grade. I would imagine she was rather nervous, but she rocked it! The last two games, we’ve had some younger players getting a lot of time.
Melissa Mize really stood out tonight. She is really going after the ball. With all the injuries, we had to drop Harleigh Riggins to the back line and Callie Harris to the six. They all pitched in for a team win.
However, coming in to the second half with a 1-0 lead, our captain, Ashlyn Newman said get me the ball, and she put on a clinic! Callie Harris set her up with some nice passes and 3 assists.
She tied her own season record of 6 goals in one game, and that put her at 72 goals, making her the all time leading scorer.
Harris to Newman for the record!!! Would love to know how many times that has happened over the last eight years!!!!!
Game balls go to Savannah Swecker and Melissa Mize!!! Both stepping in for hurt or missing teammates!!!! They both played great at positions they were not used to playing!!!
