The NWSL Fall series has started up!!!! It all started with the Washington Spirit playing Sky Blue FC at Segra Field in Leesburg VA. Mallory Pugh made her Sky Blue FC debut which was awesome for her! Was anyone as excited as we were? Let's get to the recap!
Both teams had a lot of shots and in the first half Sky Blue capitalized on one of theirs. In the eighteenth minute after a bad give away by the Washington Spirit near the 18 yard box Ifeoma Onemonu dribbled the ball down the right side of the field cut in and shot the ball near post into the roof of the net! Sky Blue was up 1-0 which would last till halftime. Not much happened till the end of the second half when the game really picked up. In the eighty-eighth minute after a foul on a Spirit player in the box the Spirit got the chance they needed. Paige Nielsen stepped up and rocketed the ball into the left side of the net! Just like that the game was tied. Sky Blue FC wasn't going to take a tie though. In over time Mallory Pugh played the ball through to Midge Purce who tapped the ball into the right side of the net! The game ended and Sky Blue had won the first game of the fall series!
