Highlights

First game of the National Cup showed many inconsistencies and lack of scoring opportunities in part due to a stingy defense by the opponent and lack of good runs and through balls in the final third.  One defensive lapse by the opponent in the final 2 minutes of the game puts TPFC92G in the winning column. The lone score came from a corner kick by Maddie (assist awarded) and a scrum in front of the goal where Colleen (assist awarded) managed to get a foot in to knock it loose and Heidi's quick heads up play to tap it to the back of the net. Our three new additions, Heidi, Colleen and Veronica were very effective and fit well into the system today.  Well done.

Game plan was executed well by the girls, however, mental mistake cannot be afforded against a very good team in today's game, hence, the lost.

Uneventful game with difficulty keeping the shape and mounting any significant attacks.  Defense was steady throughout.

Competitive game through and through.  Lots of good thru ball but, one mental mistake puts us on the losing side. Score came from Amy assisted by Maddie.

An aggressive pressure just out side the opponent's box by Ginsa and Veronica resulted in a game winning mistake by their goalie.  The infraction was a hand ball outside the box thus a direct kick at the top of the box with Maddie releasing a perfect blast pass the wall and to the right of the goalie.  Through all the adversaries endured this season, overall it was a successful season again.  Well done ladies!

Highlights

Opener game of the new season has plenty of shots, passing and pressure.  TPFC92G did not focus for the entire game only spurts of brilliances and gave up two goals.  Scoring came from Kristyn (1) from a heady cross from Kelly, Maddie (2), Amy (1).  Assist from Kelly (1), Ginsa (1), Emily (1), Kelsey (1) and Maddie (1).

First half of this game has several long ball miss-opportunities  by the opponent while our ladies struggles to string passes. Alas 0-0 at the half.  The second half TPFC92G turn it up a notch.  The short passes were working to perfection and the opponent were chasing most of the second half.  Scoring came from Vivi (1), on a break out goal with assist from Amy (1); Amy (1) from a return favor assist from Vivi (1); Maddie (1) on a bender corner kick to the back of the net.  Solid goal keeping from Alison with 5 saves and lastly a welcome sight on the pitch and a well played return to the game by Kaitlyn after a long rehab from an ACL injury.

TPFC92G finds it difficult to play an inspired game today for all 80 minutes and the ball movement was slow as molasses. Not a typical TPFC92G kind of game, nevertheless a 4-0 shutout game.  Scoring came from Maddie (2) where one of them was a one of a kind head butting vertical post almost knocked out goal; Ginsa (1) and Kaitlyn (1); Assist came from Ginsa (2) and Vivie (2).  Another excellent defense by all the backs and 5 saves from Alison.

TPFC92G came out blazing today. 15 minutes into the first half the game was tight until Ginsa made a great run on the right wing beating her defender and unleashed a cross to Amy which was mishandled but picked-up by Emily with a gorgeous one touch tap to the back of the net. From this point forward TPFC92G were playing inspired ball especially Emily who notched possibly her first trifecta (hat trick) and Maddie not far behind with two goals.  Assist was by Amy (3), Ginsa (2) and Maddie (2).  Kaitlyn filling in for Alison as the back-up goalie in the second half was simply great with 3 saves.

The first 25 minutes of the game was good with 2 goals in the pocket. The rest of the time was simply unpleasant.  TPFC92G were struggling all the way and was content to play not to loose. Amy and Maddie with 1 goal each.  Ginsa with 2 assists and Maddie & Amy with 1 assist each.  Kaitlyn playing goalie was good considering how the whole team had played.

Two quick goals early in the first half settled into a game of "Let's pass the ball?". There was only 6 shots taken and not until the middle of the second half, when an unfortunate call caused TPFC92G to be down a player, that the the team started to play with a more sense of urgency and netted another goal.  Alison's first game back with a healthy shoulder was her usual self with 4 saves and a shut-out. Scoring came each from Ginsa, Amy and Maddie; Assist from Amy (2) and Maddie (1).

TPFC92G could not penetrate the opponents low pressure defense strategy where everyone gets back behind the midfield line and the 18 yd line. TPFC92G did not adjust to the game given to them.  One long ball caused them the game.  Alas chalk one up in the lost column.

A good recovery from the last weeks' game.   Excellent ball movement creating opportunities to score.  Midfielders were in control and had many good through passes in the final 1/3 of the field.  Amy with a hat trick plus one and assists came from Ginsa with 4 and Emily with 1.

TPFC92G gave the game away with uninspired soccer. The opponent deserved the win with their hustle.  Visiting team was playing in the mud while the home team was high and dry.  Lone score came from Amy.

A combination of intensity and opportunity by the opponent to be No. 1 in the bracket and with TPFC92G down to 11 players due to injuries resulted in the 0-3 beating.  Heal and good luck in the next round.

A draw in this game was more than acceptable considering the fact that TPFC92G has not practiced together since December 2007.  This was battle of the "keeps" with outstanding saves from both sides.

Amy scored the first goal assisted by Alison in the first half.  Maddie finished the second half and the game with another goal.

Last minute goal by Ginsa from Amy's miss shot put TPFC92G in the winning column.

Better ball movement and possessions. Amy with a hat-trick, Ginsa with one and Kelsey with one. Assist came from: Ginsa (1), Britt (1), Maddie (3) and Carly (1)

Tired legs from HS soccer and back-to-back game resulted in a draw.  A special kudos to our defensive group, Carly, Tori, Kristyn, Jamie, Kelly and Alison on a stellar job in defending our goal this last round. Well done this season to finish on top of the table.
