Game 11 Report (Dec 5, 2015)

December 5, 2015

Hello Dragons.

Another night game in the winter squall!

First Half:

The game started fast and hard, with Michael earning the first foul less than 1 minute in. We didn’t get the ensuing shot on net, and the 98Whitecaps came back to test Luke.  Marcus would get our first shot at 3 minutes. However the 98Whitecaps would get the opener at 13 minutes from a poor clear and weak back check. Determined not to give up, we did battle back for the remainder of the half, with shots from Davis and Andrew.

Second Half:

The second half we felt we could go after the 98Whitecaps, despite being short benched and Matthew C having injured his leg.  Unfortunately the 98Whitecaps would add to their number within the first 4 minutes.  Marcus would send a corner and Andrew get a shot off, three minutes later.  But the 98Whitecaps would score again at 57 minutes. We had an opportunity to get within 1 when a penalty was called in the box. Marcus stepped up but put the penalty shot just wide of the post.  We would get on the card with a Michael goal at 61 minutes, and Andrew would have another chance at 82 minutes, but the game ended with a 3-1 loss.

All in, we had 10 shots with 6 on net, while the 98Whitecaps had 9 with 7 on net.   

Final Score:

Dragons – 1

98 Whitecaps - 3
