rip2506 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Awesome game.. glad I weathered the cold and made the trip... did not go in with high expectations but was pleasantly surprised when the Lady Dawgs put on a very tenacious performance to eek out a win. Kelly went down early with a mental breakdown.. after the half Kelly scored early with a shot from Prince that deflected off the goalie and was cleaned up nicely by a very opportunistic Caitlyn Quinn. Second Kelly goal came shortly after with the tide swinging and while a perfectly positioned Kelly Midfielder Lauren Zeto was lurking 25 yards out from the Clear Springs net when a Clear Springs defender made a costly error while attempting to clear a ball in the box, She in effect passed Lauren the ball at the right tempo and Zeto made her pay by burying it in the back of the net. Clear Springs was not done with nearly 25 minutes left in the game and sent a cross that was deflected off a Kelly defender for their second gift wrapped goal... . Not complaining I would take them too if they would have provided them.Tied 2-2 the game clock expired and both teams left content with the draw only to find out at the exit gate that the game should not end in a draw and should go to a shoot out. ( the 30yd dribble and shoot variety.) Clear Springs went first and missed. Kelly's Zuri Prince went next and hit a shot that deflected off the goalie's gloves and trickled in. Clear Springs missed another shot that actually found the goal but the 5 second time limit had expired.. Nice work by the Kelly goalie Steph O'Neal. Stephanie then denied the next 3 Clear Springs attempts and Kelly's sole goal would stand to win without having to use the secret weapon Yasmine Afshar.Someone brought a Houston Chronicle paper to the game and Clear Springs was ranked fifth in area Houston 5A, with tomorrow's opponent Fort Bend Austin ranked 4th followed by Saturday's opponent State Champs The Woodland's High School some how falling to a #3 ranking in the same pre-season poll.The Woodland's beat Fort Bend Austin today 5-2.. Should be interesting... The SeaHawks beat New Orleans so anything is possible. and that leads me to my next post.. Shame on Beaumont Enterprise... Omission are Over Sight? ;D
