Lady Falcons vs. Marshall Recap

Mother Nature forced a 24 hour slip to the Foster-Marshall matchup but the delay didn’t impact Foster’s effectiveness on the field. The muddy pitch proved difficult for most of the night but it only took about 30 seconds for Tola Ajayi to find the net off an errant defensive rebound.  Roughly eleven minutes later, Tola fed Abrie Morales for a well placed strike and the Falcons offense was rolling.  It took barely another 3 minutes for Angelica Bochus to hit from distance and put the team up 3-0.  Then, 4 minutes later, Marin Stephan found Tola for the brace and a 4-0 lead.  The midfield maintained control and play stayed in the Marshall half for the next 10 minutes or so until Marin crossed a ball in, Jasmin Badillo sent it far post and Jenay Garcia redirected it in for a 5-0 half time lead. Jenay replaced Lianna Hamden who went out with a knock in the first half.  The restart gave the hosts a bit of energy and play went back and forth for a bit before Abrie found Jasmin to put the ladies up 6-0.  The footing on the field continued to cause issues with slips and errant passes throughout the second half.  Still, the opportunity to get game time for other players proved invaluable and a final goal from Angelica, assisted by Abrie, sealed the victory for Foster.  Although tested very little on the night, the defensive line maintained composure and held on for the clean sheet, their 11th on the season and 8th in district play.  Foster plays again on Friday, 1 March, at FB Hightower.  The match kicks off at 7:30 PM!  #ptn #WiT
