Game 4

Today's game was against the top two teams in the league, as the top-scoring Barrington Bolts face off against the stingy defense-minded Randall Hawks.

The game lived up to it's billing, as the two teams spent most of the game battling back and forth in the midfield area. Randall got on the scoreboard first, thanks to a rather fluky goal that came on their first shot. The best opportunity for Barrington came off of a big kick by Jay, as she launched a rocket off her right foot that nearly soared over the head of the Hawks keeper. Unfortunately, each team would end the half with two shots on goal, and the Hawks holding on to their 1-0 edge.

The second half was very similar, with an even amount of shots between the two teams, but neither team able to score, with most of the action remaining in the midfield. Without being able to notch the tying goal, the Bolts wound up with their first loss of the season, knocking them out of the playoffs and allowing Randall to move on. Although the result wasn't the best for Barrington, it was the best game of the season for Jayden on a personal level. She had the game's best shot, and she played some good defense during the Hawks best offensive threats. Even though this wasn't the ending we wanted, it was a great season for the Barrington girls!
