Stars Rally Late for Win in Millis

Hot sun, small goals and a crazy yellow and black striped soccer ball could not stop our Sudbury Stars on Saturday.  The team traveled to Millis for a match against a very pesky and defense orientated team.  The first half was a scoreless draw, even though the Stars dominated time of possession and had several scoring chances.  A late goal finally came.  Sage was playing middie and drove the ball up the right side.  She attempted a cross to her striker who was running full speed toward the goal.  The pass was a little too strong and the Millis goalie charged to make the save.  Instead of covering the ball, she tried to kick it away.  Fortunately for the Stars, the goalie kicked it directly into our striker and the ball bounced into the net for the goal.
Sage played well in the second half, running tirelessly as she supported both offense and defense from her middie position.
Big week for Sage as she has tryouts for Fall soccer Monday and Tuesday night.  No game this coming Saturday, as it has been moved to Monday night, 6/8 at 6 pm in Sudbury.
