I was extremely proud of our squad today, as we fought back from a 2-0 deficit to tie Ole Miss 2-2. Defensively we played fairly well, but two youthful mistakes by our back line led to the Ole Miss scores. It was a great learning opportunity for our back line which features 3 freshman, 1 sophomore and a sophomore goalkeeper.
It was a solid and experienced Ole Miss squad, so the way our group responded was tremendous. Freshman Katie Runyon got us on the board in the second half with just a great follow up effort, where she just ran through the ball to get it in the net. Freshman Jordan Calhoun then got the equalizer a minute later scoring her 5th goal in 3 games.
A missed penalty would have secured the win for us and we also had another ball cleared off the line late in the game-so it could have easily been 4 goals on the day for the Frogs. Chelsea Cody and Kaylie Garcia both had great games in the middle of the park.
This was a great character game for us and what we want this early in the season-it will certainly pay off down the road!
