Game Summary:
What a difference a game can make – in Avon Lake’s first game they were only able to manage two shots on goal, but the offense ignited against Elyria as the Shoregals bombarded the Elyria goal from every conceivable angle to register an astonishing 43 shots with 20 of them being on goal and five finding the back of the net in a 5-2 victory over the Pioneers.

It took a while to get going in the first half, but then Sarah Gee broke through with her first Varsity goal on a pass from Amber Achladis in front of the Elyria goal. Next, it was Paige Hood who struck a free kick from about 23 yds. out to give Avon Lake a 2-0 lead at the half.

Elyria scored quickly in the second half to make it interesting on a goal by Haley Walton in which she dribbled through several AL defenders to find her way to the net.  But then it was all Shoregals as they scored 3 goals in a span of six minutes.  The first came from Olivia Siko who took a pass from Sarah Gee and weaved her way through the Elyria defense to get the eventual game winner.  Then it was Achladis who fielded a clear out ball from the Elyria defense and blasted it right back into the goal. Next Allie Heschel was able to steal a back pass to the goalie which did not have enough pace on it and turned it into an easy goal to complete the Shoregal scoring.  The Pioneers were able to add a goal late in the game when Ja’Maya Ward got free on a breakaway.

In goal for the Shoregals were Danielle DelGuidice and Elaina DeMerritt who combined for the win and for Elyria, Kayla Beiser made 15 saves and got some additional help from the frame as 6 AL shots deflected off either the crossbar or goal posts.

No JV game on this evening as Elyria isn’t able to field a JV team at this time.  A makeup game will be scheduled against Strongsville at a later date.
