This was the Beaver's 4th game of the season, although the last two games counted more as scrimmages. The Falcons were up against one of their toughest competitors, Trinity. We are down one of our key players, in fact, he's out for the season with an injury. So the mindset going in was not too good. Trinity outnumbers us by almost double, which means they can rotate their players frequently and stay fresh. But our defense was on. They played hard and kept the ball on the move. Still our keeper played an awesome game. He was credited with 24 saves! Yep, that would be the Beaver!
And there were several near misses, and grabs that were loose, and then tightened up. It was the fastest game with many gasps, groans, and heart-attack moments. That's just from us parents!
Our offense was kept busy in the defending mode as well, but they did try a number of shots on goal. More importantly, they played as a team and communicated well. The other team played an aggressive game, and part of that strategy was to intimidate by yelling, in what I would say was not a very sportsmanship like manner, but it does seem to work for them. The final score was 0-1, but the Falcons should be very proud of keeping the score that low. Not as good as a win, but sometimes it's just about defending the goal.
