At James Island:
Berkeley 2
James Island 5
An injury-riddled Berkeley defense got off to a wavering start against a very well-coordinated JI attack. JI has an offense you can't afford to hesitate against, and we did just that, leaving James Island up 4-0 at the half. A little halftime resolve-strengthening had the Lady Stags digging deep in the second half, with freshman Chelsey Holloway digging a ball off the endline to turn it into goal at the last second, breaking the ice for Berkeley. A collision in the box led to a Berkeley PK converted by junior Kayla Barwick. The finesse vs. determination battle stalemated until the final minutes, when JI converted a corner kick to score the last goal of the match.
Proud of my girls for digging deep and finding the back of the net for a 2-1 second half...now if we can just eliminate the 0-4 first half! :-) JI has a very talented squad--my compliments for a game well-played!
