Dayton 2 Geo Mason 0

I think Johns is getting the hang of this goal keeping job. Another outstanding performance 8 saves and another shutout.

Flyers played a player short after getting a red card early in the first half.

So for the weekend Johns had total of 18 save in goal, should be defender of the week.

Outshot 19 to 9, 8 shots on goal to UD's 3 but two of the three went in.

Extremely hot humid day but the flyers prevailed.

Four shutouts in a row and six for the year.

Game Recap: http://www.udpride.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31250

Gut-check win. We were outplayed. Hard not to when down a player most of the match. We may have gotten outplayed anyway even 11 vs 11. But they hung in there and found a way to get this one done. Defense remained tough. These Ws are not Picassos but they don't have to be at this point in the season.

The midfield distribution however is an issue I think has played out long enough. I think we need to go in a different direction. Kiehl is our most talented player and is continuing to rarely see the ball. And when she does the balls are not friendly to what she does best -- run onto balls w/her feet into space taking on defenders. I think Ive seen enough to make a move of her to the central MF. It's not we're out-scoring teams right now anyway. Her move there would not affect our defense. We seem to be keeping the score down. But we MUST find more possession on the field and more meaningful possession/distribution. I think Robertson, MicLiv, Mink, and others could be more effective with better service too. Kiehl is a good ball passer that puts good weight/angles on balls. She's a lightweight and might get bumped off the ball somewhat for 50/50s, but I see little risk in at least trying it. We're halfway thru the season. Those that had had a chance to make inroads as distribution players have had their fair shot. Time to try someone else in there.

All that said, team is showing some stubbornness. We are 6-4-1. Schedule has been very soft, but we could also be 4-6-1 very easily too. Gotta win the winnables.

Did not see what Kellett did to earn the straight red, but no hesitancy from the center ref and not a lot of argument from our sideline.

Have to give props to Johns today. GMU hit the crossbar twice before we were able to get on the board. the first was a rocket at Johns where she was able to just get a reflex finger on it and redirect off the crossbar. The second was a high arching shot over her head where she was able to back up and just get a finger on it to tip it up and off the crossbar.

Just as important, Johns was in command of her box and her defense - very very vocal to and at all her teammates in front of her and assertive and decisive within the box. She is most likely a bit hoarse tonight from all her yelling.

Our entire defense was getting beat on pretty good today. They bent but did not break - Johns would not let them do so.

Had we gone down a goal, I doubt we win given the heat and playing short a man.

Pestell was solid at left back - although unlike recent matches she had few chances to carry the ball forward - mostly because of all the pressure being put on our defense. Midway through the second half GMU switched their best striker to the opposite side of the field to avoid Pestell.

One has to go back to the 2013 season to find the last time we had 4 consecutive clean sheets. We had 6 in a row that year.

How hot was it? I usually watch matches from the terrace , but opted to watch this match from the south side shade - and glad I did.

Does anyone know what the red card was for. Announcers seemed baffled by it and the replays did show much of anything
