Thursday 10/17 the Lady Blazers traveled to Anna to face the #3 seed in the district quarter finals. We knew going into this game they were going to be one of the best teams we faced all season, but we were up to the challenge.
The Lady Blazers held off this strong attacking team to only 2 goals in the first half, but eventually as the clock counted down in the second half the size difference of the two teams started to take over with the final score being 6-0. Anna was able to sub in 4-5 girls at a time while our ladies were playing 15-20 mins of tough physical soccer.
The Lady Blazers held tough the whole game and never gave up, we were still able to get off 12 shots, 9 of them on goal, while Taylor Reynolds came away with 25 saves for the game.
I want to send out a BIG THANK YOU to our seniors, Belle, Josie, Hannah, Taryn and Megan for all their leadership this season and never giving up after we were unable to field a team last season. These ladies wanted to have a senior year for badly and what a season to send them out on! To Ollie, Liv and Lillian thank you for coming back this season and what all you brought to this team in all aspects on and off the field. To our newcomers Lilly, Taylor, Bre, Maria, Brooklynn, Rae and Kenzie. Thank you for giving soccer a chance this season and helping us show case NT Soccer. Thank you for not only trusting in your Seniors guidance, but mine as well. Ending the season with an 8-9-1 record is something you all should be very proud of, and we look forward to adding the next group of ladies next season and continuing to build!
