Game Details - Girls Soccer

Delta earned its third win in a row after defeating the Carbon Dinos in penalty kicks. It was a low-scoring game, and when Carbon’s Allie Smith scored the first goal of the game it was Delta’s Margaret Nielson that found the equalizer. The game remained tied throughout both overtime periods and the Dinos and Rabbits headed to penalty kicks. In the end, Delta found the upper hand and won the shootout 4-3. “Both teams played a very physical game. It was a battle until the very end,” said Delta head coach Shanae Eyre. “I was proud of the girls because after going down 1-0 they were able to keep their heads and get one in the back of the net to send us into overtime and eventual PKs.” “One thing that really helped us throughout the match was our defense, as a group we know that Carbon has a very talented offense, so we asked the defense to contain their leading scorer, they limited her in shots and possession.” “Both offense and defense has only gotten better every single game and they are always willing to give us coaches their best effort no matter what the task is. I really couldn’t ask for a better team to be a part of, watching them improve every week has been a lot of fun.”
