| After a long break, Samantha and her 99/00 Liverpool teammates 
			returned to the pitch in this afternoon's contest. Most of the game 
			was relatively slow paced, with the action marching up and down the 
			field but scoring chances being held to a minimum. It was the 
			Plymouth team that got on the board first and holding on to take a 
			1-0 lead in to halftime. Liverpool found themselves with several 
			good looks throughout the second half, but they couldn't convert on 
			any of them. The LFC girls controlled play this half, but it 
			appeared they would be headed for defeat. It wasn't until the last 
			few minutes of the game that the Liverpool girls were finally able 
			to change that, scoring on a play where the Reign goalie came out to 
			challenge a shot and the ball got behind her before being tapped in. 
			With little time remaining, the Liverpool girls tried to secure a 
			victory, but came up short before the final whistle was blown. All 
			though it wasn't a "W", this game could have easily been a "L" had 
			it not been for their hard work in the second half.  |
