BEC U10 Girls loses 1st game to ESA 2-1

June 2nd, 2009

The BEC U10 Girls played the Elite Soccer Charge (aka ESA) and lost their first JAGS’ game by a score of 2-1. The game overall was very evenly matched. At halftime, BEC was down 2-0. But as the 2nd half began, and after a strong caution to the girls to raise their intensity by the BEC Coaching Staff, the girls delivered by keeping the ball in the ESA half for most of the second half. The U10 Girls overall managed to get off 7 Shots/ 4 of them On Goal. The 7 shots were taken by 4 Different BEC players. 2 Corner kicks were taken by the BEC girls, 1 of which became an Assist for the girls’ only goal. Additionally, one Free Kick was awarded that hit the top crossbar. Several offensive crosses were executed, giving the BEC forwards opportunities that were only inches and in one case a foot away from a ‘header’ opportunity for the equalizer. Although it was a loss in the standings, the BEC coaches were very pleased with their effort, which was sustained in the 2nd half and continued all the way until the final seconds where BEC had offensive opportunities in the ESA box.
