Overtime Goal Brings 1st win of the Year

It was hot...we were dropping like flies from fatigue and injury...the home team was pressing for a goal...and just when it seemed like things were looking VERY dark...we scored! And the result was a very hard-earned 2-1 Overtime win against a good UNC Greensboro team. It was a great show of character and teamwork. After a fine first half, featuring the first collegiate goal scored by freshman Katie Martinez, the home team really came out fired up for the second period. We struggled to find our game and couldn't keep the ball well...some fundamental mistakes were happening...however, the team never broke and stuck together. It was a great sign of a winning spirit that we hope to bring us a successful season.
