SAN RAMON - The first game of the season for the Huskies was against the Mustang Rampage at Coyote Crossing @8:00am. The game was part of the San Ramon Rec+ Kick-Off Tournament, which consisted of two games on Saturday and at least one more game on Sunday, with the top four (of 21) teams playing for the Championship and the Consolation game later on Sunday.
The lone score of the game came from one of the many beautiful crosses by Emily Glaser, the left footed left forward. The goal was actually scored by Natali Feyzbakhsh, the right forward who crashed towards the goal when Emily sent the ball right to the goal box, and was able to poke the ball in after it squirted out of the defensive bunch in front of the goal. The funny story about Natali getting the goal is she one of the few girls that really wants to just play defense and she was supposed to be the sweeper in this game, but she got to the game late, so I wasn’t able to start her there. Once I needed to make my substitutions, Navi Bal was playing sweeper and doing a great job, so I didn’t feel compelled to take her out, besides I usually sub out my midfielders and forwards, as they are the ones that do most of the heavy running, not the defenders. So, because she was late to the game, Natali got to play forward and she definitely capitalized on her chance.
I probably shouldn’t have written this all out because now everyone is going to show up late in hopes of being placed at forward! :)
Drew Dudley ended out missing much of the second half after getting her ankle hurt, so she earned the first blood patch of the season. Amanda Fornataro was given the defender of the game patch. She did a great job of always being in the right place at the right time and just making life miserable for the Rampage forwards. The lightning hustle patch went to the left defender Korah Rose, who showed great burst of speeds and fancy footwork to stymie the Mustang offense. The star of the game patch went to Navi Bal who was thrown into the sweeper spot in the first half (due to Natali’s lateness) and then played at goalie for the second half. If you can play sweeper and goalie in a 1-0 game, you deserve the star of the game, Navi.
Great way to start the season girl! Congratulations.
