Mavs come from behind to topple the Highlanders!

The Mavs faced their first deficit as the Highlanders from the Woodlands came out strong and went up 4-0 last night on Caven Field.  Paige broke the streak with a goal, and the Highlanders quickly struck back, going up against the Mavs 5-1.  But the Mavs were not to be defeated, and they dug deep, putting in six unanswered goals, and headed into halftime with the lead 7-5.  The second half was controlled by the young Mavs, who dug deep and learned lots as the game continued.  Never satisfied, the Mavs took contol of draws and transition passing, and finished the game in the lead 15-8.  What a night!  It is SUCH fun to win a tough competition, and the smiles have never been bigger on the Mavs young faces.

Several girls contributed to scoring, including hat-tricks for Paige, Amanda, and Lindy.  Jordan scored twice, and VA, Meg, Jessica, and Hana all added points.  And, after a not fun start, KMac came up with six big saves to help control the defensive end of play.

It was a great, great night for the Mavericks.  Come back out and see this team play on Monday, when they take on the Westside High School Varsity team... 5 pm at Caven field.
