vs. Lugoff-Elgin on 2/22/07

vs. Gaffney on 2/23/07
Close game in the first half, with Gaffney leading at the half by a score of only 1-0. Broome only had 8 total shots for the game (3 shots on goal), with only 2 (1 on goal) coming in the second half. Gaffney scored several (2 or 3) of their goals in the second half on set pieces from corner kicks. Caroline Moss had 14 saves in the first half and 20 for the game, so it could have been a lot worse. Final score 5-0 Gaffney. This turned out to be a battle between the top 2 teams in the tournament as Gaffney finished first with an undefeated record (4-0) and Broome finished second with a record of 3-1. Broome plays Gaffney again in Gaffney on Tuesday, 2/26/07 at 6:00 PM.
vs. York on 2/24/07
Broome took the lead fairly early in the game on a breakaway goal by Stephanie Godfrey on a long assist by Siobhan Johnson. Stephanie picked up a brace early in the second half as she scored on a low trajectory shot from the right side that slipped under the York keeper. Lauren Hutson finished off the scoring with a powerful shot from just inside the left side of the 18. Caroline Moss was hardly bothered the entire game as she only had to make 6 saves total (with only 2 in the first half). That was due in part to the play of all the girls on defense (defenders Chandler Morrow, Morgan Worthy, Brittany Yerkes and Siobhan Johnson and midfielders Mackenzie Camby, Emily Bryant, Meredith Rudasill, Mercedes Herbas and Olivia Gilmer). The shutout was spoiled on a goal by York which was scored off a set piece from a corner kick with only about 30 seconds to go in the game. For the game Broome had 28 total shots (with 18 of those being on goal). Final score 3-1 Broome.
vs. Chester on 2/24/07
Broome attacked from the start with a great opportunity from Isabelle Berry that was only kept from going in by a great save by the Chester keeper. The girls stayed on the attack for much of the first half with Chester only able to attempt a few shots on Caroline Moss (who only had to make 3 saves in the first half and 5 for the game). Broome finally broke the scoreless tie on a great goal by Emily Bryant that was chipped over the Chester keeper’s head from the left side of the field just outside the 18. That was followed by a penalty kick that was powered in to the top right corner of the goal by Mackenzie Camby after Olivia Gilmer was taken down inside the box by two Chester defenders. Broome led at the half by a score of 2-0. The second half was much of the same, with Broome players peppering the Chester keeper with first, second and sometimes third chance shots (24 total shots in the game, with 11 being on goal). Unfortunately, the girls weren’t able to break through and add to their goal total from the first half, but Chester was prevented from scoring at all by a Broome defense that was able to preserve the shutout. The contest was hard fought and very physical. Several yellow cards were given out (2-3 to Chester and 1 to Broome). Goalkeeper Katie Sparks came on in relief of Caroline Moss late in the second half and only had to make 2 saves during her first action of the season in goal. The final score was 2-0 Broome. With the win, Broome finished second in the tournament with 3 girls (Caroline Moss, Chandler Morrow and Stephanie Godfrey) making the all tournament team.
