The Undefeated Vipers were on tap today. The Panthers would
definitely have their hands full with this speedy well
trained team. The Panthers would start out with Sam and Joey
at forward. Nick and Noah at midfield and Alley, Nadine and
Lianne on defense. The Vipers would make many attacks but
the Panther s would play great and step up their own game to
match the Vipers. Danielle Ellis would play super in goal.
One example would be a penalty shot that she would deflect
into the air then catch. The crowd cheered wildly after that
save. The Vipers would get a break when the ball would roll
through the goal mouth and Danielle wouldn’t be able to get
to the player who would slide the shot in. 1-0 Vipers.
The second half would get under way with Ben Husic. Mckenna,
Delaney, Maggs, and Abby played tough at the midfield spots
returning many balls brought forward by the Vipers. Danielle
Erickson also played well trying to bust through the Vipers
defense but she would be turned away time after time. Trevor
Cole was on fire with many interceptions and he would run
down many Vipers and take the ball away to clear it up
field. Ben would finally get his break when he took a long
high shot that went well over the goalies head and into the
net to tie the game 1-1. Danielle Ellis would make a few
more great saves to keep the tie. “The entire team stepped
up today against a really good team, I’m proud of the
Panthers today” coach Dave said.
