Varsity Soccer Report v Washington Montessori School on Wednesday November 7th

This evenly matched game was finally settled in the last 10 minutes of the game when Washington Montessori bundled in a close range shot after some sustained pressure on the DDS goal, making the score 3-2 for Washington Montessori. On a cold crisp afternoon, the game started well for us and Hudson netted from a Kayleigh cross early in the first half. The score was soon 1-1 when after some heroic goalkeeping by Daniel, a loose ball managed to slip under her body and into the net. In the second half, a lot more goals could and should have been scored by both sides. There was some desperate defending at times by the DDS defense, but lead by Roan and some terrific covering by Alexa, the team held on. However, Washinton Montessori did manage to score, when one of their forwards was allowed to advance unhindered and crack a fine shot in to the back of the net. Regaining the initiative however, DDS hit back and Griffin soon equalised with a firm drive in to the bottom corner of the WM net. Playing well in the second half, was Adrienne who made some great passes with the midfield and her fellow forwards. Overall, we played well but were unable to score the goals that would have secured the victory. Two games are now left on our calendar: Parent/Staff game today (Thursday) at 3:30 p.m. and V Oakwood tomorrow (Friday) starting at 3:15 p.m. Don't forget the pizza party afterwards in the Dining Hall at approx 4:30 p.m.
