Select Open November with Another Win

I fell behind on the updates again, but here is another attempt to get caught up.

Quest Select open November with another big win over the Montgomery County Ice. The weather could not have been better as the Quest girls took advantage of the clear sky and cool breeze to open up the scoring early in the match. In only the 11th minute of the match outside mid-fielder Megan (Red) drove the ball hard down the left side of the MC defense splitting two defenders and driving home a very strong shot inside the near post. It was only nine minutes later when the Quest attack would strike again. This time it was Kelli from her attacking mid-field position taking a ball across the center of the field and sending a rocket of a shot into the left center of the net over the outstretched arms of the MC keeper. Kelli was not done scoring in this match as she struck again a few minutes later in the 26th minute of play. Her second goal was a great slotted pass from Carlee that placed Kelli in the box with the ball and a great finish.

The Quest girls would then completely take over the match by moving the ball around and building up large stretches of ball possession. The strikers Analise, Christina, Kelli and Red would continue to make great runs off the ball working with mid-fielders Haleigh, Carlee, Theresa, Tiffany, Jenna, Brittani, Erin and Brittney. The Quest defense was led by goalkeeper Elyssabeth (“E”), who recorder a clean sheet by taking care of the entire compliment of MC shots on goal. However, the MC shots were few with the outstanding defensive play of Elyssa, Elizabeth, Nikki and Jordan who shut down the MC attack completely in the second half of play.

Late in the match it would be Quest who would strike again in the 38th minute. This time Brittani would be the recipient of a crossing ball from Kelli from the MC bi-line. As the ball was bouncing across the MC box Brittani would drive home the half volley to complete the Quest scoring for the day and bring the Quest record to 5-0-1
