Some very quick bullets to summarize the game:
- UVI played very strong in the first 10 minutes and had a few forays down in our end
- Capitals figured out their weakness (flanks) and strengths (Moira) and adjusted our game to their strengths
- The chances and deep attacks started coming with greater numbers and frequency in the later part of the first half --> lots of shots and excellent chances within 18 yard box but could not capitalize
- For the second half, the Capitals came out out fast and strong and scored two very quick goals within the first 10 minutes.
- After that point the UVI team went into a defensive shell i.e. they packed the 18 and made hard but not impossible to attck the net. We had a number of very good chances that did not go in (posts, crossbars and near misses).
- With that game under our belt, we will have to get ready to do battle with Semiahmoo who are feeling the pain of the last couple of games and will be coming out of the blocks against us hard ... we are big targets right now.
- Some good goaltending by Mikki - who although was not tested a lot - had to stay in the game mentally and was called on a couple of times to come of her line quickly to smother balls or kick them away.
- Another clean sheet for the Caps!
Commitment to the team - there is no such thing as in-between, you are either in our out.
