B Game Cup Summary - March 12, 2011

Bombastic B won 5-1 against Vancouver Reign at Van Tech turf in quarterfinal Cup play.

Game Summary from Hugh:
Bombastic B rocketed into the semi finals of the cup with a very impressive 5 - 1 victory over the Vancouver Reign - a team we had narrowly beat 1-0 twice before this season. The game was much closer than the score indicates - well at least for the first half. Bombastic started quickly, as we knew that the Reign would be pumped for the game, and Marta scored a great "turn and shoot low" goal to open the scoring. This seemed to fire up the opposition and the reign carried the play for the next 15 minutes, scored, and had a few chances to actually take the lead (including one missed open net). At about 30 minutes, Bombastic's defense said "enough of this" and tightened up, and with the ball on in the right half of the field Marta scored again and Marion added another before the half. The second half was all Bombastic as we really seemed to tire and take the spirit out of the opposition. What really wins these games for us is the fact that we are solid throughout the line-up - at every position - so by the second half the opposition are tired of having to win battle after battle just to get the ball out of their half. Again a great team effort.

Goals:
Marta - 2
Marion - 2
Ana - 1
