League Play Is Here

After a big week last week, we were all kind of thankful to only have one game this weekend. We traveled down to Cleveland State on Thursday for a Friday night game. This was our conference opener and we really wanted to send a statement to the rest of our conference.

The first couple minutes of the game were frantic because we wanted to high pressure and Cleveland state was just kicking the ball. But we finally got it settled down and I got the ball on the left side and crossed it and Apple headed the ball in the goal. We were up 1-0 and could finally settle down a bit. Then Emily Scott scored her first career goal off a corner kick. Then Kiki sent another great cross in the box and Laurel was able to get her head on it for us to go up 3-0 going into half time. We were feeling pretty good at halftime with our lead and really just focused on not giving up anything in the second half. That is exactly what we did. The defense played great and got the shut out and I even got another assist when I played to ball to Apple at the top of the box and which she was able to do a move around the defender and score. Overall we were very happy with the result (4-0) and the fact that everyone got to get in the game.

Next weekend we have both Friday and Sunday games at home so come out and support your Panthers!!!!!!
