“On all of our other games one of the things we really wanted to work on was to be first to every single ball,” Erickson said. “And not passing square balls and stuff, getting a head of it, being first to the ball and just getting some shots on goal. We were definitely better on the 50-50 balls, getting to them, and I thought we made some nice plays down the line and stuff.”

Travis would put a free kick on target by Soldotna’s country wise email marketing list Queen covered the shot and Wheeler would pass to Erickson on the next possession, but it too was covered.

Soldotna countered on the last shot and Stars senior forward Jazzalynn McDonald took a pass from senior midfielder Sadie Lane on a countering run and put a hard shot low past JDHS junior keeper Alba Muir for a 1-0 lead.

“It was really nice,” McDonald said. “I had a really good assist by Sadie Lane, she sent the ball to center and I just took it and went right bottom corner…the game was exhausting, honestly, it was a long flight, we got up like at four in the morning. We were up all morning, got to get a little nap on the plane but, you know, we have been rallying, just going at it…It was a good game. They are definitely a tough team. They have a lot of heart in their game.”
