Revolution 14, Team Extreme 5
There was an Xtreme Revolution this morning as these two teams met.

Dos Brisas 7, Gang Green 6
The 3rd game of the day featured the 2 teams most expected in Sunday’s game.  Expectations were high and these two teams delivered.  Dos Brisas scored in the first three minutes of the game and took nearly four more minutes to expand their lead to two.  Gang Green responded with a Greta Meyer goal only to see Dos Brisas’ Jessica Adam bury a rocket to reestablish a two goal margin.  The two teams traded explosive offensive surges but got no reward for most of the final 13 minutes, until Gang Green got a Kat Collins score for a 3-2 game.  Determined and creative as always, Dos Brisas scored late in the half for 4-2 half time lead.

Dos Brisas’s Lindsay Gilbride scored a quick goal as the second half began to give her team a 3 goal lead.  Again, these teams traded well executed offensive thrust but each defense was up to the threat until Gang Green scored with 18 minutes left to make it 5-3.  Little scoring opportunities were there, both goalies, Gang Green’s Julie Wadland and Dos Brisas’ Regan Busch, kept the door to the goal closed.  They again traded quick goals as Dos Brisas maintained it’s two goal lead as the game entered the final ten minutes.  Gang Green dominated the action over the next seven minutes and tied it up at 6-6 with three minutes to go.  For one final time, these teams raced up and down the field with pin point passing and creative play.  With over time looming Lindsay Glibride buried another rocket with just over a minute to play and Dos Brisas held on for a hard fought 7-6 win.

CRSLAX 8, Team 180 7
Team 180 and CRSLAX took the field next.  CRSLAX lead by Robyn Yateman and Kristen Olson took a 5-2 lead at half, which might have been bigger if not for the stellar play of goalie Anna Wallingford.  Clearly, Team 180 made necessary adjustments as they dominated play throughout most of the second half.  With 4 minutes left Jackie Koehn scored her second goal of the half to knot the score at 7-7.  CRSLAX found a way to win as Lindsey Lewis scored the game winner with 34 seconds left to send CRSLAX into the semi-finals.

Round 2 –

AOB 13, Team Extreme 9
The 5th game of the day featured Team Xtreme and AOB.  AOB came out swinging with 8 goals in the first half, lead by Tammy Michael and Abbey Goodwins with 2 goals each.  The game was very physical which earned AOB three yellow cards throughout the game.  Team Xtreme managed three goals by half time.  Both goalies, Kate Mulligan for Xtreme and Kristen Haldeman for AOB duked it out with a respective 8 and 9 saves.  Xtreme once again fought back in the second half with six goals, but it was too little, too late.  AOB won 13-9.  High scorer of the game was Beth Calder with 4 goals.

Gang Green 9, Team 180 5
For the 6th game of the day, Team 180 met it’s match against Gang Green.  By half time the score was pretty even with Gang Green leading 3-2.  The Gang overtook 180 in the second half and never looked back ending the game with a score of 9-5.  Kat Collins lead the game with three goals, while Annie Stookesbury contributed three for 180.

Revolution 12, Lax Hut 11 (OT)

Dos Brisas 13, CRSLAX 4
The 2nd semi-final game featured Dos Brisas and CRSLAX.  Dos Brisas quickly established their will to win as they rolled to a 6-0 half time lead.  Dos Brisas expanded their lead to 7 before CRSLAX broke into the scoring column at 7-1.  The teams traded goals over the next five minutes.  At this poin,t Dos Brisas reestablished control as they built a 13-3 lead and coasted to a 13-4 victory and a ticket to tomorrow’s championship game.  Goalie Meg Dentler and Megan Buker lead the way for CRSLAX while Caroline Cryer and Lindsay Gilbride were the leading scorers for Dos Brisas.

Championship Game:

The championship game will feature the 8th seeded Revolution and 2nd seeded Dos Brisas.  As decided underdogs, Revolution features Sarah Bullard, Sarah Plumb and goalie Mollie Mackler as well as a team chemistry that has served them well as they played their way into this championship game.  DosBrisas is lead by Caroline Cryer, Linsday Gilbride and Jessica Adam as well as the inspiration provided by the mother daughter duo of Dee and Caroline Cryer.  This team has dominated play, often times short-handed, but won’t be satisfied without the championship trophy.  As games are won on the playing field, the 2008 Women’s Elite won’t be settled until Revolution has it’s shot.
