With 10 minutes left, the Rams scored on a counter attacked that started in the defensive end with a nice shield and pass out by Alyson Moysher, Jamie Zelenski then passed it up the sideline to Liz DeJongh who drove it deep into the corner and placed a beautiful centering pass to the feet of Mandy Johnson. Mandy redirected the ball into the back of the net.
The Rams had to fight off several scoring opportunities from the Orioles in the last 2 minutes of the game.
The Rams next action will be the first round of district play on Tuesday 5/26 at 6:00pm at Holt High School verus the Everett Vikings. |
