JCWP Yellow 3 Daisy A 14

The yellow team came out in the first quarter ready to play against the physically dominating Daisy team. The guys played smart defense matching up well with the better offensive players for Daisy. They had a rough time on the offensive end and were unable to notch a goal. The first quarter ended with the cats down 2-0.

The second and third quarters were not very pretty for the team. The Daisy team was playing a strong press defense, and looking to counter. Unfortunately the cats did not adjust their play. They got flustered on offense and did not match up well on defense. They did have a little offense generated mainly by Nick Keao, who was named player of the game for his efforts.

The fourth quarter began with the guys down by a large margin. The goal of the fourth was to win the quarter. Unfortunately they did not tally more goals than the Daisy team, but they did slow them down the counter and were able to run a better half court offense. After the game the team talked about improving their abilities to pass under pressure and exploiting the other teams weaknesses. There were many players that our two meters could have set on, but made no effort to swim out the Daisy two meter guards and swim in the smaller players.
