LOSC vs FC Platinum

Well, FC won 1-0. FC scored on a long cross to an unmarked forward (Ella) who kicked it in. LOSC played a very sloppy, unmotivated game. Even our girls were commenting on how sloppy the play was. Anyway, we found ourselves in a peculiar situation. Actually rooting for LOSC to score! Can you believe it!? The outcome we were hoping for was a tie so each team would only receive 1 point in the standings. It was close. LOSC had several opportunities they did not capitalize on. The LOSC forwards are fast, their mids handle the ball very well so our defense better bring it all game next Saturday. They had a little play on a couple corner kicks where they pasted it in short and the 2 girls passed it back & forth until they got close to the goal.
FC's forwards, Ella & McKenzie Spooner, are big. Ella has the most experience and plays more aggressively and is just slightly faster. Last year Ella played for FC Ruby, McKenzie for our own THUSC Platinum. Both can battle their way in and cause problems if we don't lay a body on them or leave them unmarked.

So, to recap; to beat LOSC we need to play aggressive offense, attack all game. Defense needs to neutralize their speed and ball handling of #17 by taking good angles and aggressive double teams. If we can do that, in my most humble of opinions, we should beat LOSC. This, of course, has no ground in any professional capacity so we'll leave the coaching to Ronnie. She has done a spectacular job thus far and will continue to take us far as we can go!
