Blogging with Casey Hirsch: Our game against CSU Stanislaus

Our hands are on the panic button (after starting the season 0-5-1 in the CCAA) and everyone knows how important each game is.

This game against Stanislaus was just as important as a playoff game, every minute mattered. Coach Clarke had said going into the half tied or up 1-0 would mean a win for us. He was right!

The second half started, we were tied 0-0 (just as planned). We were the more dominant team starting the half, however; they took the lead in the 50th minute. The time was dwindling down and with 15 minutes left, with another opportunity in front of me, I took a hard shot on the keeper, with luck on my side the ball went passed the keeper to tie the game 1-1.

I have never felt such accomplishment as seeing the ball in the back of the net. After that, the momentum was to much for any team to handle. We kept going at them and with 4 minutes left, Brittney Wilding cut inside and took a beautiful shot upper V near post. The atmosphere was that of a movie. Our team wanted it more than them, plain and simple we took the game into our own hands and determined the outcome. The 2-1 victory on the road vs CSU Stanislaus is a game that will always be remembered by each one of the yotes on the Women's Soccer team.

They are a very good team and we feel that this was a great win for us, especially on the road. Go Yotes!
