U10 Girls - 2009 Fall - Game Recap - Monson @ Southwick

Sunday, October 4, 2009 Southwick, MA - On a day that started out overcast, the sun came out just in time for the girls' 1:00 start at Foisy field. Southwick would have several close scoring chances early on with Madeline Grucci hitting the post with a strong left footer and Fiona O'Donnell putting one through the outside of the net.  They would eventually capitalize on the pressure as Grucci scored midway through the first half to put Southwick up by one.  Paige Arseneault made several great saves in goal, while Maggie Sullivan and Aelish McGivney patrolled the Southwick defensive end to help maintain the 1-0 lead into the break.  Early in the second half, O'Donnell would find the back of the net to give the Strikers some much needed breathing room.  Southwick would keep the pressure on with great midfield play by Rachel Diamond and McKenna Leary.  Late in the game, in a frenzied sequence where several players would touch the ball within the West Side zone, Emra Toomey put with game out of reach with a hard shot into the upper right corner of the net.  Gillian Ensign maintained the shutout the rest of the way in goal for Southwick.  Final Score - Southwick 3   Monson 0
