Lady Eagles Roll

June 14th, 2008 - IN THIS ISSUE 3v3 Cup Lady Eagles Match Report QUICK LINKS www.CharlotteEagles.com 2008 TICKETS 2008 SOCCER CAMPS INTERNATIONAL TOURS Lady Eagles Roll The Charlotte Lady Eagles hosted the Richmond Kickers Destiny on Saturday. Donning the pink kits in brest cancer awareness for the Komen Foundation the Lady Eagles secured much of the early possession, but were unable to produce great scoring chances. Richmond was able to generate the most quality scoring chances with three shots on net in the opening 35 minutes. Richmond was content with sitting in a conceding possession and their compressed defense thwarted and frustrated the Lady Eagles attack which seemed to dissolve as it progressed into the attacking third. This continued throughout the half which ended in a 0-0 tie. The second half opened much like the first with Charlotte having much of the possession. Richmond defended well until 10 minutes in Lulu Quigley avoided confrontation and served in a ball which Christy Rife nodded just inside the near post to open the game up for a 1-0 Lady Eagles lead. The second period wore on with Laura Armstrong untested as the Charlotte defense held tight. The Lady Eagles attack looked potent at times but were caught offside five times in the second half. The Lady Eagles broke through on a nice possession on their left side through Ashleigh Swinehart who found Nikki Lyons who then slid a ball through to Kelly Schmedes and she neatly finished. Richmond nearly pulled one back after a shot from Molly McKeon rang the crossbar in injury time, but ultimately were not able to score on the night. As it stood the Lady Eagles won 1-0 keeping themselves in second place in the Atlantic division behind Atlanta. The Lady Eagles play again away at the Carolina Dynamo next Saturday..
