Our opponent in the Quaterfinals of the Marion County Tournamant was Lawrence Central, who we have not seen anytime recently. Being the County Tournament, we know we will get everyones best effort. The Bears were quick to apply pressure on us and forced Goalkeeper Annie Clark into making a big save in the opening minutes as she put a floating shot from distance off the crossbar.
Once we settled in, the play was more in our favor and started to create some good opportunities. It took us 35 minutes to open the scoring as Maddie Malatestinic received ball from Jen Dimos and cut it in to her left to finish far post. Just two minutes later, Colleen Moorman found Melissa Snider who put one off the post and in to give us a 2-0 lead at the half.
We then started the second half much better and played in their half for the first 10 minutes capped off a Claire Kelley goal from Snider. A bit too comfortable, we allowed LC to get one back off a great strike from their #15. We then got back into it and outside back Kelly Rodman got forward and had a hit from distance to give us the 4-1 vicotry.
A solid effort again from everyone on the field and moves us into the Semi-Finals on Saturday, October 1st at 10 am against Ben Davis.
