It was a cold one on Wednesday at Campolindo High School as the Dons prepared for their final regular season game against the Cougars. Campo is a strong team, and the last time we played them we lost 4-12, so we went in not really expecting much other than another fun game for the girls!
Q1 – Jess won the sprint, and Sadie scored on a gorgeous long high shot! Dons 1-0.Campo had a shot clock violation, but then scored, and then scored again on a lovely behind-the-back shot, 1-2. Campo took another shot that went high, then stole the ball, but Sadie stole it right back! Lucy then went to work in the goal – blocking shot after shot! Wow! Kylie followed Sadie’s shot with a beautiful high lob of her own that sailed right past the goalie’s fingers for a score! 2-2. Campo scored in the low corner on a power play, 2-3. Kylie took a shot at the buzzer but it was blocked.
Q2 – Jess won the sprint, but Sadie’s shot went high. Campo scored, 2-4. Campo’s shot bounced off the post, and Kylie took another long high lob and scored! 3-4! We have ourselves a game folks!!! Lucy blocked their shot, Sadie’s shot was blocked, Campo’s shot went off the post, then Lucy the goalie came out for some 7 on 6 play. Erin’s shot went wide, Santana’s shot was blocked. Campo had two shots into our open goal – one went wide and one was short!
Q3 – Campo won the sprint, then it was the Lucy show. Block! Block! Block! Block! Block! Block! Block! Cade, Erin and Kylie all had shots that were blocked too.
Q4 – Campo wins sprint, their shot goes high. Campo steals, Aca steals back! Repeat! Amayel takes a shot that fell short (and NO ONE in the stands understood how it was NOT a 5-meter shot call), Lucy continued her amazing shot blocking. Santana’s shot was blocked on our goalie out play, and Campo scores into the open goal, 3-5. Our shot went high, Campo scores again, 3-6. Erin answers back though, 4-6! Santana took another shot that was blocked. Lucy had an amazing save – swimming back to the goal as their shot floated towards the open net! She got there in time! Erin and Lucy took shots to try to even the score, but missed. Campo took one final shot into our open goal again, and Lucy got back in time to save that goal again!!!
Final score 4-6 – the closest score by far against Campo this year! Overheard in the Campo locker room after the game: “Guys that was embarrassing.” “Yeah, but their goalie was SO GOOD!” Yes – that’s Lucy McShane folks!!! GO DONS!
Next up is the DAL tournament at College Park High School on Thursday-Saturday 10-31-11/2.
