New Canaan Girls U10 Red Shut Out Trumbull Lightning 4-0

The New Canaan Girls U10 Red put in a solid performance this past Sunday afternoon against Trumbull Lightning. The final score does not tell the whole story, as this was an aggressive opponent that sent all their players into the box and spent a majority of the game in New Canaan’s end. First half defenders Devon Russell and Kathryn Norton were constantly disrupting Trumbull’s attacks and advancing the ball up field. About midway through the half, Trumbull’s forward position caught them when Lila Volpe connected with Lexie Tully who broke down the left side and scored the Red’s first goal. Trumbull continued their strategy of sending all their players up and it definitely led to some chances on net.
