The Chesapeake Charge had an outstanding weekend! The team came out energized and excited to put their new skills and lessons into play. The offense worked together to create some great passing which lead to scoring multiple goals. However they couldn't do this without the help of their midfield and defenders who created great opportunities for break aways and assisted in the scoring.

GIRLS 9-10

Sportsmanship was the order of the day when New Zealand was awarded a forfeit on Saturday against Sweden as Abby Duff, Caroline Wiehe, and Haley Lestician volunteered to play for Sweden so both teams could play a full-sided scrimmage. With the opportunity to play different positions, Wiehe, Duff, Sarah Smith, and Sophia Sharareh contributed their best performances of the season at fullback and midfield, with consistent effort, disciplined defense, and accurate passing.

A tie never felt so good, as New Zealand fought back to tie USA, 3-3, on Sunday after relinquishing a 2-0 lead. The Kickin’ Kiwis learned the value of perseverance and playing to the final whistle. Haley Lestician and Katie Toole spotted the Kiwis a two-goal lead. Trailing 3-2 with a few minutes left, teamwork enabled New Zealand to get the equalizer after a flurry of attacks on USA’s goal. Toole and Amyiah Fulmore assisted on Emma Paxton’s drive from the top of the penalty area, after multiple Kiwi defenders stopped yet another USA attack. Kathryn Hendry anchored the defense and started many attacks. Sarah DeFalco had an excellent game at both defender and attack positions. After being hobbled by a foot injury, the usually fleet-footed Molly McLaughlin provided game-altering saves in goal when the Kiwis most needed them.
