Good call Cap't, you should put some money on the lotto's. LOL In all honesty, should have been 3 - 1. Lino on our side botched the offside call on the disallowed goal.
True Gooner , you had alot of nice possesion in the first half but taking Tabo off in the 2nd hurt your creativity. She was very good with Zoller. You seemed to slow a bit in the 2nd half and let Coquitlam's vets take the game over. Your keeper is going to get burned soon if she continues to play like a sweeper as well. We won't have a problem testing her from long range if she playes that far out ( just an FYI )
I only saw the second half. But based on second half performance, I think Gooner is being a bit generous if he felt a draw would have been a more just result. I don't think either team turned in a masterpiece performance by any stretch - it was an ugly match if we are being completely honest. But Coquitlam scored three quality goals in the second half, but the crack officiating crew (or is that an officiating crew on crack?) felt obliged to only count two. I don't think Burnaby generated much in the second half.
Having said all that, Burnaby was way better than the first game. And if they're backline can hold up, with Tabo and Zoller up front there's more than enough firepower to make some noise when we start playing for keeps in the spring. I wouldn't be looking past them should we draw them in Cup, that's for sure.
As for the refs, nice game guys. They're big girls, eh? You don't have to call a foul everytime someone hits the ground. For the love of God, Burnaby was getting free kicks given to them if Phebe so much as looked at a Burnaby defender the wrong way. I think these guys thought it was volleyball. Too bad actually, because it definitely played a part in killing the flow of the match. Both teams have some hard players, and they were neutralized by the officials on the night.
Which striker is that, Gooner? Sara?
We are hoping for 5 from UBC.......but we'll see.
CMFSC Xtreme - 4
Langley - 1
0-0 at the half. Langley worked hard and did well defensively. Coquitlam exploded and had 3-0 lead at minute 60: KJ, Phebes and WW. Langley got one back about the 70th minute. Standerwick sealed the deal with a cracker with about 15 minutes to go.
