Lady Falcons vs. Hightower Recap
Posted March 4, 2019
It’s been thirty days since Foster defeated Hightower 10-1 following a shock opening goal by the Hurricanes. Last night’s scoreline was an exact replica of the game one except the Falcons were first on the board. The potent Falcon offensive trio were supplemented early on by overlapping runs from the outside backs. This increased pressure kept the Hightower defense off balance and Angelica Bochus found the back of the net just five minutes in to put the Falcons up 1-0. Three minutes later, the press continued to hamper the opposition and Jasmin Badillo pushed the ball across the goal mouth to Chloe Mills, lurking back post, for the easy tap in. The midfield started to control the ball movement and Abrie Morales got hot with two assists to Angelica and Jasmin just 15 minutes apart to put Foster up 4-0. The Falcons were able to find space by switching the field and getting numbers up in the attacking third. With time expiring in the first half, Jasmin buried a free kick from 25 yards for the 5-0 lead. The second half started as the first left off with crisp passing in the middle of the field and good diagonal runs by the forwards. In the 50th minute, a Hightower foul in the box drew a penalty kick for Foster which Tola Ajayi put away. Three minutes later, Jasmin found Tola following a nice pass string that began in the defensive third and the Falcons were up 7-0. Marin Stephan continued to win 50/50 balls and challenge the Hurricane midfielders which opened up lanes for Abrie and Angelica. Jasmin had a solo dribble effort which resulted in goal number 8 and Angelica found Jasmin after another pretty pass string for goal number 9. The big lead allowed some substitutions for Foster and after about 13 minutes Abrie mimicked Jasmin’s effort with a dribbling display of her own for goal number 10. Unfortunately, the Falcon clean sheet streak came to end with less than two minutes on the clock when a deflected free kick dropped inside the box and found the back of the net for the lone Hightower score. The win solidified Foster’s hold on the top of the district with an 11-0 record. The Lady Falcons take on a surging Shadow Creek on Tuesday at home at 7:30 PM. Come support them in their quest to remain undefeated. #ptn #WiT
