Spokane, WA- One Moment Gives Fort Lauderdale their first win of the season.
One Goal is all FTL needed
Stella Nyamekye went to the corner and delivered a fantastic ball toward the area. Two FTL players were in the same spot to put the ball in, and it was Ella Simpson who got the touch to score the goal in the 62nd minute.
“Honestly, all credit goes to Kelli Van Treeck. There was a lot of chaos on that corner kick and I’m not really sure who got it in the net — but at the end of the day — it was a great effort from our team tonight and I’m really looking forward to seeing what we have in the future.
It was a big win tonight, a collective group effort where we finished the whole 90 minutes plus some. I’m just really proud of these girls and really excited for what we have in store. We’re going to have a really great season, and I’m really excited.” Said Ella Simpson
Strong defense
Fort Lauderdale played strong defense and never gave Spokane any chance of a solid scoring chance. Bella Hara was strong in the net and commanded her area very well. She earned her first clean sheet of the season with this victory.
“The group showed resiliency to the end to get the three points on the road. It wasn’t our best performance, but I’m glad to get the first win of the season along with a clean sheet. We look forward to playing at home against Dallas.” Said Tyrone Mears
Three match unbeaten streak
