Sudbury Stars Romp in Season Opening Win!

The Sudbury Stars U10 team started their season off with a thorough thumping of the Newton Rockets 6-0. The game was played as Tropical Storm Hanna approached. The rain held off, but the tropical humidity was everywhere.
Sage played brilliantly on defense in the first half. Her unit did not allow a shot on goal until close to the end. She was responsible for all goal kicks because the coach wanted her strong leg driving the ball. She also had to deliver corner kicks and then run back to her position.
In the second half, Sage controlled the flow as she was the mid-fielder in a 2-1-2 alignment. This required her to run and run and run. So much so that she was wiped by the end of the game. Sage assisted on two goals and scored her first of the season. It was a great way to start the fall league.
