Regular Season Game 13: Roxbury 1 Morristown 0 - Another Shut-out!!
The 13th regular season game, close to Halloween, turned out to be a great end to a losing streak. As most Morristown games of the past, the game was a defensive struggle as the first half on a wet and slippery field ended 0 – 0. The second half saw a more dominating Roxbury team keeping the ball in the Morristown end. The parents on the sideline were getting cold and a little wet so the thought of an overtime game was not a pleasant one.
As shots again went high and wide Jess Musmanno took the ball around several of the middle defenders and shot a bullet at the goal. The goalie was positioned perfectly, but wasn’t able to hold on to it and it bounced off to the right where a streaking and an all alone Jen DiGioia was collecting the ball. Two steps later she crossed it back to the goal with a perfect shot to the waiting Cori Younghans who was able to head it into the left side of the goal. 1 – 0 Roxbury with the scoring coming in the 78th minute! Stacey Miller and the defense racked up another shut-out, number 8 of the season.
Great job girls!
