Will anyone be posting updates from these matches?

Green acres - I will be at the first two and will do my best to provide some info.

Background on Girls Match:

Piinewood and Cardinal Newman have played 5 times in the last 3 years. Pinewood won the first 4 including the 2009 and 2010 State Championship. Cardinal Newman won the only match this season 1-0 at Cardinal Newman. That game was also the championship game for the Lady Bearcat Invitational.

Last years State Championship was won by Pinewood 3-2 on a late goal by Courtney Angotti Smith (Currently a Junior). Kelsey Orvin and Megan Fish also scored - both of them are Seniors this year. Megan has signed with Central Florida and Kelsey has signed with the Air Force Academey. Chelsea Goodwin had the two goals for Cardinal Newman (I believe she has graduated).

In the 2009 State Championship Pinewood won 4-1 with Courtney Angotti Smith scoring 3 with and additional goal from Francesca Kassing (graduated). Alexa Barnes (currently a senior) scored the Goal for Cardinal Newman.

These teams know each other well and it should be a great matchup.

AAA Girls

Halftime

Cardinal Newman-0
Pinewood-0

Half time 0-0

CN had a ball off the post early. PW had one off the cross bar. Most of the game in the middle third. Except the last 2 mins - PW had a number shots and a very energetic finish to the half. Both teams were showing signs of fatigue - hot and humid! 2nd half should be interesting. Anyone's game at this point.

20 left. 0-0. CN has had more of the ball but both teams have had their chances.

1-1. Two quick goals.

2-1 Final. CN wins in the last min. Great goal.

Tough lose for Pinewood, but very similar to last years win by Pinewood. As a side note Courtney Angotti Smith recorded her 200 goal on a very nice free kick.

Up next the Boys!
