With only one sub, and with wet but deceptively warm weather, the Sharks seemed tired as they fell behind 3-0 at halftime, and 4-0 after giving up an early second-half goal. After several near misses, the Sharks were finally able to crack the Maroon defense and, on a great pass from Nate, Luke put in a goal. This sparked the team back into action and the Sharks continued to attack with scoring opportunities throughout the remainder of the half. Matthew, Nate, and Grace each had shots just miss. Late in the half, Jake added a second goal on a great individual effort, and then was fouled in the box and made the resulting penalty kick to bring the Sharks to within one goal. The offense was in high gear and Sophie and Izzy were making some great plays on defense, but sadly the clock ran out before the comeback was complete.
The Sharks played good defense against a strong Maroon attack, as Luke, Jake, Matthew, Grace, and Izzy each took turns in goal. Even though they were shorthanded, the Sharks played tough and did not give up.
The loss drops the Sharks to 9-3 on the season. They will have another chance to get their tenth win as they take on the Blue team on Wednesday night.
