Varsity Girls Soccer
CFCA improved to 3-0 in league play with a 6-4 win.
Coach Michael Breslin shared his perspective on the match.
“We are still looking for a decisive victory,” Breslin said. “We have yet to come out and dominate all aspects of the game. I know that sounds odd considering we are 3-0 in conference play, but I’m always looking for improvement.
“On the plus side, we scored six goals; however, we surrendered four. The six we scored were in addition to the 18 shots we took (nine of which were on frame) that did not go in. We have the opportunities to score but continue to have some difficulty finishing.
“Having said that, I continue to see improvement with every match we play. We were better offensively (Tuesday) than we have been in other matches. Lexie Crumley had a hat trick, with assists from Charlotte Aldredge, Courtney Butts, and Ella John Dupree. Lexie also had two assists — one on a goal by Gwynn Young, and another by Ella John Dupree. Our sixth goal came from Charlotte Aldredge, assisted by Gwynn Young.
“I’m pleased that five different players were involved in our goals. That shows we are moving the ball and passing rather than relying on individual efforts.
“Defensively, we played well. The score includes two goals of opportunity by Cresset and their third goal resulted from a defensive error on our part. Our defensive midfielders did a good job breaking up the opponent’s attacks and the backs were effective in holding their ground against a couple of very fast, aggressive players. We will continue to work hard during practices and I’m confident we will play well against Crossroads on Friday.”
