Dolphins vs. Novato Fury 9/8/09

It didn't seem to matter that the Dolphins had a long weekend off AND attended a full day of school because they were still able to bring passion and intensity to their second game of the season. It was "the battle of the defenses" between both teams as the score was tied 0-0 until about 20 minutes into the first half when the Fury struck first, making the score 1-0. It didn't take long for Brittany White to change that. Thanks to a perfectly executed play starting from the Dolphins side of the field, Rachel Houlihan was the one to put the plan into motion. She dribbled the ball up to half field where she passed it off to Emilee Gendel. Gendel then made a brilliant pass to White who weaved through players and blasted the ball past the Fury keeper. During the second half, Michele Malliaris played a near flawless game as defender for the Dolpins. Gillian Rodgers and Annabel Milliner teamed up as the dynamic duo, displaying their speed and control as each had several fast breaks on offense. Thanks to the amazing talents of Jennifer Chin and Isabel Gala in goal, the Dolphins only gave up a few goals. The Dolphins are looking forward to an action packed Saturday with team photos and their third game! See you on the field!
