With the end of season looming in the not-to-distant future, on Sunday, October 23rd the U10 Girls Mighty Reds headed to Old Greenwich for a rematch against the only team keeping them from a total winning record this season. The last time the Mighty Reds met the Old Greenwich Blues the score ended in a tie. The stakes were high and the Mighty Reds were focused to prove they were the better team. The first half showcased the developed skills and importance of teamwork Coach Luke Green has been teaching the girls all season long: coordinated passing, skillful footwork and smart movement of the ball was illustrated by the strong offense of Reese Quinn, Eleanor duPont and Isabelle Janiga early in the game. Numerous shots on goal finally converted to the Mighty Reds scoring the first goal of the game by Sydney Patten.
