Select Remain Unbeaten through Week 4

Week 4 of the 2010 President’s Cup would match the Quest girls against the Lamar Lady Lightning. Again numbers would be low and the fields at Zube would be very hard and dry as the dust kicked up with every step. However, this would not dampen the spirits of the Select girls as goal keeper Elyssabeth would record a clean-sheet while making several quality saves throughout the match. The Quest defense would keep the Lamar girls frustrated all afternoon led by Lizzy, Elyssa, Nikki and Jordan. However, it would be the central midfield play from Carlee, Haleigh, Brittney and Jordan that would turn the match. The first half of play was pushed onto the Lamar side of the field and in the 22nd minute the pressure would cause the first big mistake of the match. About 20 yards from the Lamar goal the foul was called for handling which would set up Jordan with the free kick and she would not disappoint, driving the ball over the head of the keeper and putting Quest up 1-0.

The match would remain 1-0 into the second half but it was the attack of the Quest girls that would prove to be the difference in this one. Strikers and outside midfielders Analise, Christina, Erin Y and Brittani would push the pace of the match for the entire second half creating several goal opportunities throughout the match. However, the game was put out of reach in the 34th min, when Christina would chest trap a crossed ball and drive it into the Lamar net from 19 yards out securing the 2-0 win and keeping the Select girls undefeated in the bracket.
