October 30th--Game 2 of the Medina Tournament went much better for Sporting than Game 1. Sporting came out ready for a quick pace and aggressive team. Control of the ball and the attack seesawed throughout the game, with Sporting's mid-field doing a great job of keeping the ball on Sporting's half. Both teams got off shots on offense, with Morgan and Moni putting pressure on the CV goal in the first half. CV nearly scored on a PK after handling in the box, but Kristen had great anticipation and made a diving stop to prevent the goal. The tie was broken late in the second half on a fluke own goal and that was how the match ended.
Great effort in this game by all the girls, they really stepped up their play. Also, they deserve congratulations on the whole weekend. After the first 10-15 minutes of the first game, Sporting did not allow another goal (by the other team). The 3 goals that were scored on them were scored by the eventual champions of the tournament.
