Subject: Northwood Ladies V Soccer Updates – Ladies Defeated South Granville and Granville Central
Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen. Happy Thursday!
Here’s a recap from Monday’s game (I forgot) and the game last night.
“The week has proven to be a good one so far for the Northwood woman’s varsity soccer team. On Monday they played South Granville in a grudge match after the two teams tied 0-0 in their last meeting. Northwood controlled much of the game and took a first half lead when Katie McGrath gave Northwood a 1-0 lead. McGrath, on great individual effort, dribbled past several South Granville defenders before she put the goal away. Northwood would take their 1-0 lead into the half. The second half began the way the first half ended, with the Lady Chargers dominating play. Their effort and pressure payed off when Hannah Lawrence took the ball from the South Granville defense and slotted a goal near post to beat the
keeper. Northwood wasn’t done though. Ally DeJong, again on great individual effort, dribbled herself out of trouble and hit a well-placed shot from distance, giving Northwood a 3-0 lead. The Lady Chargers finished the game with strong defense and ball possession and were able to hold on to win 3-0.
Wednesday night the Lady Chargers visited Granville Central in another conference match. The Lady Chargers came out of the gates lazy, but soon turned up the pressure and intensity. Ten minutes into the half, Hailey Pister got Northwood on the board. Two goals by Courtney Lineman soon followed, as well as goals from Laura Shachtman and Ally DeJong. Northwood would take their 5-0 lead into the half. Making a few adjustments and changes, the Lady Chargers came out in the second half and continued to control play, which resulted in goals from Rebecca Moore, Kathryn Lloyd, Yancey Luft and Silva Stout. With little pressure on the Northwood defense, they were able to finish the game with a 9-0 win.
The Lady Chargers will conclude their season Friday night with a home game against Jordan Matthews. Kickoff is scheduled for 6p.m., with Northwood’s Senior Night ceremony immediately prior to kickoff.”
Hope you all have a great Thursday!!
