Came out fast and played great the first 10 minutes. Then dropped back into a defensive mindset, playing slow and sloppy soccer the rest of the first half. 0-0 at the half. Second half was a different story as we came out aggressive and strong, playing much more offensive. Gave CN fewer chances in the second and were able to capitalize on our opportunities. Meritt Rollins played a great game in midfield in the second half. Anne Armstrong recorded a shutout in goal in her final regular season home game as a senior. Lauren Jones and Carrie Settle played excellently up front. Lauren Jones' goal came off a beautiful cross from Carrie Settle in front of the goal. The BL defense stepped up to a new level in the second half. Hats off to all my girls who left it all on the field in the last 40 minutes! That puts BL at 6-3 in the region and in 2nd place with one more region game to play. You made me proud ladies! Seniors, excellent stand in your final regular season home game! We will miss all three of you!

CC played a hard, fair match that we barely got out of, and Coach Reid and his girls have always been gracious hosts, which is why I asked them for a second match to fill an empty spot this year. I wouldn't begin to judge the program or the community by the actions of a few fans.
