After a very intense game in 2009 at Guerin, we knew it would be the same back home this year. With a good crown on hand, we were hoping to put on the best performance of the year so far. Guerin was the one who came out with alot of pressue both defensively and offensively from the kick-off. They were able to create multiple opportunities in the 1st half which led to a 1-0 lead at the half. After playing a bit flat and sluggish that first half, we were lucky to only be down 0-1. But, we knew that we could put together a much better 2nd half and get this game back.
We did so right away in the second half as we put two goals away in the first 10 minutes. The first from Maddie Malatestinic off a Elise DeTrude through ball that put Maddie in a 1v1 with the goalkeeper where she slotted it away nice and easy. Just a few minutes later, Kayla Delaney found the ball off a Guerin goalkick and played it to Amanda Repass who put away the second goal.
We continued to press for about 10 more minutes until the Golden Eagles tied the game up at 2-2. It was then back and forth for the last 20 minutes until Guerin found the game winner with 10 minutes to go. The Braves now look forward to a big weekend at the Zionsville Invitational where we face No.11 Brownsburg in the first game.
