Week 1 of Games Recap First game of the year ended in a win for the girls! The first half you could tell there was a lot of first game jitters.
The girls had many opportunities on goal, but they were unable to put one in the back of the net. In the second half, it only took the girls a little over a minute to put the ball into the back of the net! It all started with a quick restart. We had a quick throw-in to Callie Harris that allowed her to be able to drive down the sideline and put a cross into the box. Alisia Torres Lopez made a front post run and finished Callie’s cross with a one-touch volley into the top of the net. Around 9 minutes later, we drew a foul at the top of the 18-yard box. Alisia Torres Lopez tapped the ball to Callie Harris at the top of the box, and Callie Harris scored it far post to make it 2-0. About 2 minutes later, Savannah Swecker and Callie Harris had a nice 1-2 combination to each other that beat the Galax defense and led to them fouling us in the box. Callie Harris put away the Pk to make it 3-0. The girls did a great job stepping up after halftime. On our defensive side, Jackie Arellano-Torres has really stepped up for us at the center back position! She has transitioned well for us there this year. Last year, she mainly played in the midfield for us, but due to graduating 3 defenders last year, we had to move her back into the defense.
She has stepped right in and has become a leader for us on the back line! Alexis Sheffey also added another shutout to her career! Yesterday was a hard fought game in terrible weather conditions. We lost to Pulaski 0-1. We were unable to get our offense going. Pulaski’s goal was an unfortunate bounce for us in our box that went in. We will be ready for the rematch at the beginning of May.
Thank you, Coach !
The Lady Cavaliers return to the Pitch Wednesday night at Patrick County High School 🏫.
