8-22 - Comstock 3 - Lawton 4
An evenly matched game gave us an opportunity to work on lots of important stuff. We started to understand better how to create triangles on the field, move off the ball, and deliver passes the produce goal scoring opportunities. Unfortunately our first touches and 50/50 balls were our downfall tonight. We played like a team when our opponent fed balls to the 2 same players. If we had controlled the ball better when we had possession, I think we would have won easily. Shoutout to Cayden Schultz who kept us in the game with two crucial goals and to our defense which shut down lots of potential goals from the other team.
