USA vs CANADA
Maybe there was a little hope in thinking that the brazilian crowd would cheer for us instead of Canada..Who likes canada anyways??..But I was definately wrong....Good thing we never have huge crowds and if there are huge crowds its never in our favor...
The Canadiens definately won the 6on5 battle last night but we walked away with the win...We didnt start as sharp as we had talked about but we definately picked up our play as the game went on and matched their intensity..They came out throwing the kitchen sink at us..
Canada drew first blood scoring a 6on5 goal...But we responded with a natural goal from Villa....Then it became a swim meet with both teams trying to push the counter and pick up the tempo of the game..
We continued to struggle a bit in the second quarter but we were able to score a nice transition goal from the center Van norman put one in the net after a great entry pass by Gregorka..The half ended tied at 4-4...
The third quarter we found some new energy and came out attacking...we were able to came back from being down 5-6 to going up 8-6.Their was some great teamwork and exection..Kraig scored a ball from the center position that was perfect.We also scored a a couple 6on5 by lauren wenger with patience after Canada stormed..however at the end of the quarter Villa was excluded with 12 secs left in the third quarter and Canada found the back of the net with 3 sec left in the game...to bring Canada back within one...
The fourth quarter began with a US natural goal that put them back up by two...The rest of the fourth quarter was a defensive battle..The US maintained composure with their 6on5 scored to maintain their two goal led....
Villa 2, Wenger 2, Golda 2, Windes 1, Kraig 2, VanNorman 1...
10-5~~~6on5
5-8~~~~5on5
