Best showing of the season

The Diamonds (or is it Diamondbacks?) played their best game of the season on Saturday, although they fell to the Black & Yellow Bumblebees 4-1. The team showed off their defensive skills, keeping the Bumblebees to two goals in the first half.

Anna, Samantha, Lauren and Emily anchored the backline, stopping numerous attempts to generate scoring chances. The two were frustrating the Bees offense, by clearing one ball after another.


Karsyn made three key saves in goal, including a shot that grabbed out of the air, as it sailed in chest high.

With help from the midfielders, the Diamond(backs) played one of their best positional games of the season. There were several passes that quickly turned into counter attacks. The Diamond(backs) finally broke through with a fantastic goal by Nandini early in the second half to cut the Bees lead to 2-1.


Alyssa, Jackie and Melanie created several scoring chances by punting the ball past the older and more experienced Bees fullbacks to open up the offense in the second half.

It was great to see the girls moving the ball with passes. The “swarm” offense is starting to evolve into an attack complete with passes and gritty attacks.
