get the stingers working. Once again a solid team

get the stingers working. Once again a solid team effort from start to finish ended with a 2-1 loss. Not real indicative of how the game was played. The Hornets controlled play, placing exemplary pressure on the ball, both offensively and defensively More than five or six times, the Hornets were right on the doorstep and just could not make the final kick to open net. Perhaps with a few more minutes, the outcome would have been different.

Carlos Flores, Andrew Incognito Kohler, Chasidy McGlothlin, and Juan Tisera. worked their magic at the offensive end, working well together and pressuring for numerous shot opportunities. Carlos had the lone goal by showing that constant pressure yields results. The Culpeper Keeper bobbled the shot and that wasall Carlos needed to see, he was! right there ready to finish the^ job and finish he did. Score! Tom Gillis had 3 solid shots from mid-field; as a result of excellent positional play; one slid just wide on the left side of the goal. Also at mid-field, Cody. Herrell turned in another spectacular game pressuring, onetouching and passing with great efficiency and effectiveness.

Meanwhile back at the hive*' Ry Wellemeyer led another solid defensive game along with- > Jeremy Riggleson, Josh Makela and Baillee Batcheler. The highlight play of the day was a defensive run from behind by Katrina Bigelow, it was clear she was not going to let theCulpeper player get off a shot* having broken through the Hornet defense.

Katrina lengthened her stride and forced her body infront of the opponent forcing him off the ball. Great back checking - as we say in Hockey. It would be nice one of these times, to have the score reflect the actual balance of play. Every Hornet worked so hard, it seems the score should have been more like 5-1 Hornets. Next time its ours!
