Quest Improve their Record to 4-0-1

The Quest Select girls found themselves back in the win column this weekend as they faced the Lamar Lady Lightning. It was a very blustery day in Sugarland as the teams squared off for an exciting match. The play early on was back and forth as Quest started the match with the strong southern wind in their faces. The back line would hold steady, even under the circumstances with outstanding defense play turned in by Jordan, Elyssa, Eliazabeth, Nikki and goal keeper Elyssabeth. Elyssabeth would turn in her second consecutive clean-sheet of the year as the Quest girls would keep Lamar from getting to their net.

The midfielders would be the turning point for the match as Quest began to force their will on the Lamar girls around the 30 minute mark of the first half with some strong pressure from Theresa, Jenna, Haleigh, Megan (Red), Brittany, Brittani, Tiffany, Erin and Carlee. As well as some great attacking runs from Analise, Christina and Kelli. The difference in the match would prove to be on a crossing ball from the central midfield that ended up at the feet of Red, who beat two defenders with the dribble coming from left to right across the box before finishing the ball back into the left corner of the goal. The score would come in the 45+ minute of play in the first half causing one of the Lamar girls to protest so aggressively to the center that she ended up being carded and removed from the match.

With the lead and the wind advantage the Quest girls would spend almost the entire second half putting pressure on the Lamar team. With several opportunities being shut down by some very nice play in the net from the Lamar keeper and a few shots wandering off target, the score would remain 1-0. It was still a very decisive win for the Quest team as they remain in second place in the bracket.
