Bombastic B Game - November 17, 2012

Bombastic B won 3-0 over Vancouver Spurs at Van Tech.

Game Summary from Hugh:
The Bombastic B ladies played their best game of the season and extended their unbeaten streak to 5 games (4 wins and a draw) with an impressive 3-0 win over the Vancouver Spurs. The Spurs were the last team to beat us, winning 3-0; so this was an awesome feeling to turn the tables. Again, we started a little slow, the Spurs definitely carried the play for the first 15 minutes or so. We were not playing badly - the Spurs were playing very well - but we had to defend a lot in the early part of the game. We defended well though; their best chance came on a partial breakaway - Jana ran hard to force the shot from outside the box and Gagan made a confident save. It was a physical game. We started to play better when we started playing harder and winning more of the 50/50 balls.Kaitlin scored our first goal with a good low shot about half way through the half. For the last 20 minutes we had a number of chances. We got our second goal when Jana made a great clearing defensive header that started a speedy counterattack. Kaitlin and Katrina moved the ball from one end to the other in about 10 seconds resulting in another good low shot from Kaitlin that was saved - but the rebound fell to Marta who coolly finished. Great goal.

In the second half, the Spurs made a predictable push early on and had a few chances. Gagan was excellent in goal and we were a little lucky when their striker hit a hard shot off the post. After that we took over the game. Katrina got the 3rd goal and we were unlucky not to get a couple more in the last few minutes. Everyone had a good game - it was really hard to pick only 3 stars - more importantly though, this was a real team effort. Well done Bombastic.

Goals:
Kaitlin - 1
Marta - 1
Katrina - 1

Three stars of the game:
1. Kaitlin - the best player on the pitch on Saturday
2. Courtney - had her best game this year, pounded the ball into the opposition half with both feet on a number of occasions and made a bunch of great tackles
3. Barb - solid game and was unlucky not to score
