The varsity team ends up playing to a 0-0 tie in a toughly contested game. Sophomore goalkeeper Natalie Meyer posted the shutout for the Neers by stopping 19 Ryle shots on goal.
SK played much of the first half on their defensive third of the field. Ryle got several shots off but none would get by Meyer. Perhaps the biggest play of the first half occurred when Meghan Meyer was able to clear a ball out of the box that looked like it was going to cross the goal line.
The Lady Pioneers came out in the second half with some increased intensity and got some good pressure on Ryle early on. Each team would take their turns of nice runs and opportunities but breaking the scoring column was just not meant to be.
The Freshman and JV teams failed to get in the win column during their matches tonight.
Each time I go to Ryle to watch a soccer game, I am reminded of a rainy night back in 2007; one of the best efforts I can ever remember by a SK sports team. I thought that going back in the SK Blog Archives might be interesting. Click the Link and Enjoy. http://skpioneers.blogspot.com/2007/09/now-that-was-team-in-union-tonight.html
