Another Fact About Appleton:

Victory Coffee in appropriate mug


We dominated the place.

Wow.

What a fun performance. It was fun to watch, fun to participate in, and fun to recount after the game.

A cursory glance at the box score tells the tale. We took 27 shots, the Vikings 6. We scored in the first 3 minutes of each half. We had six different players pick up points from a goal or assist and and four of those players had two or more points (two points are awarded for a goal, one for an assist). We took ten corner kicks to the Vikings one. Vikings goalkeeper Cassie Burke had quite a performance of her own and made some excellent saves on many sure goals. And we even beat the Vikings in fouls committed: eleven to eight. Some coaches might not think that was much of an accomplishment, but to us it signals that our Foresters displayed the aggressiveness that we can oftentimes lack.

 Of course, the celebration of a big win can't last too long. Today the Foresters are enjoying their victory coffee and competing in the campus Intramural kickball tournament (photos and story to come). Tomorrow we go back to work on the practice field to prepare to meet the Beloit College Buccaneers on Wednesday.
