\u201cIt\u2019s quite exciting,\u201d Currier said with a big smile about scoring the goal. \u201cEvery one makes it such a big deal and it brings up your self-confidence so much.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said the goal was just how coach Brian Ferrell drew it up. After receiving a short corner, Currier elevated the ball over the head of Shaylin Cesar and into the top-left corner of the net.<\/p>\n
The Crimson Bears now get ready for a marathon week of 320 minutes of soccer that starts Monday at Adair-Kennedy Field against Thunder Mountain and ends Friday in Wasilla.<\/p>\n
The four games will test the fitness of the Crimson Bears team that likes to play fast and physical.<\/p>\n
In the second half of Friday night\u2019s game, both Erika Holst and Nikki Box were given yellow cards in a span of less than a minute. Both pressured the Wolverines in their zone with hard tackles.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think most of the girls on the team are pretty aggressive and will use their bodies to get the ball,\u201d Holst said.<\/p>\n
Of all the shots JDHS recorded in the second half, Georgia Robinson\u2019s in the 50th minute was was the closest to a goal. Malia Miller played a nice pass through to Robinson who tried to locate the right post, but her shot was just wide.<\/p>\n
Holst thinks the strong second half by JDHS Friday night is a sign of things to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce we started playing all these games, we started coming together [and] knowing how to play with other people on the team,\u201d Holst said. \u201cIt seems like we\u2019re going to have a pretty good season.\u201d<\/p>\n
