NWKTC falls in Rock Springs

September 16-Rock Springs-

The Lady Maveriks of NWKTC rolled into Rock Springs looking to continue the downward spiral of the Mustangs. The Mustangs were entering the game with a twist of their regular 3-4-3, thanks to the gentle prodding of Kelsey Allen. Even though they were playing in a new system, the Mustangs dominated play from the opening whistle. Using short simple passes, the Mustangs held the ball on their side of the field for most of the half. The Lady Maverik defense held firm, despite the offensive onslaught by the Mustangs and the first half ended 0-0.

As the second half began, the Mustangs continued to reign shots on goal, but couldn't find the back of the net. NWKTC continued to figh,t and try to counterattack, but the new defense, led by Sequoia Hair held firm and would not allow any clean shots. Then, in the 70th minute, Mindy McDonald fed the ball to a cutting Deni Jacobs, who took the ball and calmly placed the ball into the side netting for a 1-0 lead. The Maveriks had one last effort and would have scored had it not been for a spectacular save by Kenzie Williams, who saved her shutout with her diving save. The clock finally wound down and the Mustangs earned their second win of the year and first official shutout as well. The win improves the Mustangs record to 2-3 as they prepare for a rematch vs. NWKTC tomorrow and a game vs. Air Force Prep too.

Mustang player of the game- Sequoia Hair- who in her first start as a middle defender, controlled the defense and kept the Maveriks off balance all game.
