alright crazy and dad we need much more info than this...who scored? who had the better of the play?
The Mauldin v Riverside game at Mauldin was played in a bitterly cold wind in Mauldin's favor in the first half. It abated somewhat after half time. Both teams had an abundance of soccer talent on display as measured by the number of players on Premier teams. The first goal was scored by Riverside early in the game from a suspect free kick, which was taken a few feet from the diagonal of the penalty box. Hanna Alison kicked this ball perfectly; it was a goal from the time it left her foot, right into the far corner of the net and over the Mauldin Goalies outstretched hands. Riverside then took the game to Mauldin, shooting on sight, although the Mauldin goalie was not particularly troubled. Riverside looked like they wanted the game the most. Mauldin had the majority of the possession, and passed the ball around well but not up-field. The Mauldin forwards played well back and did not get a shot of any note off in the first half.
At the start of the second half, the Mauldin forwards were playing more into the Riverside half for a short period, with two forwards opposed by four defenders. They reverted to playing well back and the Mauldin domination of possession continued with Riverside looking the most likely to score. With about 15 minutes or less to go Mauldin started to turn their possession into some thrusts on goal with the whole team moving up, possibly due to a more defensive posture taken by Riverside. The first attempt came when Mauldin�s Gracie Boswell got her head onto a cross but did not get any power on the header, but it looked good. Shortly afterwards Ariel Whaley slightly miss-hit a ball that ran along the ground just inside the post and Mauldin were level. With less than two minutes left Gracie Boswell hit a rocket shot from just inside the edge of the penalty area. With the Riverside goalie well beaten the ball hit the underside of the bar, bounced to the ground on the goal line and it was pushed into the Riverside goal by Ali Simpson, making her Mauldin debut and a positive new addition to the team. Mauldin won with 3 viable attempts on goal, two resulting in goals.
