STM 6 and 8 linking up nicely on a counter down the left. Cross into the box, cleared away.
STM defense looking very solid. Anytime Alex Thomas gets it, there's always another defender or two covering. BF defense looking a little more shaky.

Free kick STM about 23 yards out. Ripped and bending in. Off the crossbar! BF clears.

Thomas behind the STM defense...keeper slides to get the ball at the top of the box just before AT can get there.

STM cross from the left. Keeper diving for it. She loses it. Scramble in from of the goal...STM knocks it in! But wait! Apparently the BF keeper was kicked while she had the ball. Foul.
Hard to tell because I'm toward the far end, but probably a good call. Looked like an STM player collies with the keeper in the split second she had the ball.
0-0, 8 min left in the 1st half.

STM 21 with the ball cutting in from the left. Wins a corner. Taken short again, cleared. On a field of this width, they should probably just knock it into the box.

STM 9 great run down the right. Gets to the end line, crosses, 21 is unmarked and hits it first time just inside the penalty spot, but over the bar!
At the other end, Thomas gets behind the STM defense, inside the box, great last second tackle and STM clears.

Goal! 40th minute. BF counters, Alex Thomas gets the pass. Defense was pretty good, but she had just enough room to unleash a right footed shot from the top of the box. Keeper dove to her right but couldn't get there.

BF counters again, lively diagonal ball by Thomas to 14, defense gets back just in time. Corner. Out for another corner. 6 with a diving header at the back post...just wide!
Halftime. 1-0. STM probably had a slight possession edge and got more shots, but there was always the chance of BF's attackers linking up. And sure enough they did.

Looks like quite a big Lafayette HS contingent here. If their coach is nice maybe they can get to a parade tonight!

STM has defiantly controlled this game. Just having trouble finishing their shots. They are looking like the better team tonight.

STM with more possession this half. BF looking content to sit back and counter.
Sure enough, they counter. Thomas shoots from the top of the box, diving save to push it out for a corner. 4 sends it in. Headed in, then rolls to 4 who shoots from a tight angle. Side netting.
STM with a shot at the other end. Tight angle and saved. Then another STM shot, this one from distance, beats the keeper but cannons off the right post. Scrambled away for a corner, which BF clears.

It's great to see the Lafayette High team players and coaches cheering for STM. I have recorded it and will play it before next years LHS STM game.
