SAN RAMON - The San Ramon Huskies faced off against the San Ramon Tremors this morning at 10:00am at Quail Run Park. Although half the team was up late the night before with Coach Jim and Coach Scott watching the San Jose Earthquakes down in Santa Clara, the Huskies came out and dominated the first half. Although the Huskies controlled the ball most of the half, they weren’t able to get any good shots off. Going into halftime, the score was 0-0, but the Huskies definitely looked like the better team.
Emily Glaser got an unusual 15 minute break in the first half, so when the second half started, she was well rested and ready to go back in at her favorite position, left forward. Emily wasted no time in breaking the tie score by taking a nice pass from the defensive side of the field from Natali Feyzbakhsh and taking it down to the corner of the 18 and made a beautiful shot that went over the goalie’s head. Unfortunately, the videographer missed the shot, so it is not included in the video highlights.
Drew Dudley was a surprise starter in this game. She hurt her ankle at a practice a little over a week ago and she was not supposed to play in this game. Midway through the San Jose Earthquakes game, Drew looks over at me and says “Coach, I’m playing in tomorrow’s game.” I didn’t really believe it, but come Saturday morning, Drew said she was ready to go, so I started her in at goalie. She did a fantastic job back there, but she said she was ready to go in as right forward, so that’s where she started in the second half. After Emily scored her goal, Emily brought the ball deep into the left corner again and then crossed the ball right in front of the goal and Drew was in perfect position and got credit for scoring the second goal of the game, although Drew did admit at the end of the game that she didn’t actually touch the ball and that it was one of the Tremors players that kicked it in the goal. Regardless, Emily got the assist and Drew was given credit for the goal.
The third goal of the game came after Kristen Glavee brought the ball deep into the Tremors side of the field and after the Tremors kicked the ball off the sideline, Colleen Tolan made a nice throw-in to Drew, who made a nice pass to the center of the goal. Both Gabby Silva and Korah Rose were in good position in front of the goal and it paid off because Gabby kicked the ball up to Korah who finished it off with her first goal of the season.
With less than 10 minutes to go in the game, Amanda Fornataro, who had been out for awhile in the second half after running hard as the center fullback for most of the game, was put back in as center mid. Amanda wasn’t sure she wanted to go back in as a midfielder because it requires so much running, but she didn’t take long to find the back of the net for her first goal of the year as well. Amanda was in the proper position and she finished the shot, but it all happened because of the hard work by Erin Cantoni. She brought the ball deep, near the Tremors goal, but when surrounded by the defenders, instead of just kicking the ball towards the goal, Erin had the presence of mind to relax and passed the ball back to the middle of the goal where Amanda was waiting. Unfortunately, the video camera ran out of tape and was in the process of being changed when Erin passed it to Amanda for the final score of the game.
When watching the videos, make sure to watch the Tremor’s throw-in specialist. The one thing I will always tell the girls is to “not get thrown over”. Well, Natali Feyzbakhsh was the left defender and that is where the throw-in specialist was doing most of her throw-ins, right over Natali. It happened at least a half-dozen times, but the last segment of the video shows Natali finally getting the better of the thrower and used a header to keep the ball in front of her.
This was a great game for the Huskies and I was very proud of all the girls. They did a great job of playing as a team and they made it seem like there were more Huskies out there than Tremors, because it seemed like there were Huskies all over the field.
Because of the big win, the girls get to play kickball for part of Thursday’s practice because I did make a promise that they could do that if they won by 3 or 4 goals.
Great game girls!
