JI 1 @ Irmo 4
In front of an enthusiastic home crowd Irmo put on a display of ball control, speed up top and effective defense to eliminate the Lady Trojans 4-1 and move into the third round of playoffs. With the exception of Kelly Gosnell's beautiful direct kick goal (her 100th) in the second half, James Island's offense sputtered for the most part while Irmo's forwards proved too fast and too accurate for the Lady Trojans' defense. All 4 of Irmo's goals were high quality strikes and their players showed great skill and poise in controlling the pace and tone of the game. Congratulations to Irmo in a well deserved victory and best of luck as you move into the next round. Thanks to the James Island Lady Trojans for giving us a great season. We will miss Gosnell next year, but she is the only graduating senior in a team dominated by current 10th graders. We're looking forward to next year already.
