New Canaan Football Club U11 Girls Red Team Advances to Third Round of CT Cup
The New Canaan Football Club’s U11 Girls Red Team beat the Simsbury Galaxy on Sunday to advance to the third round of the 2015 Connecticut Cup Tournament. The first half began with New Canaan controlling the ball and dominating the field position with high energy play that seemed to take Simsbury by surprise. The Red Team kept the ball away from Simsbury with sharp, precise passes which allowed them to repeatedly attack in the Simsbury end. The offense had a number of shots on goal that couldn’t find the target until Ava Gizzie scored on a beautiful crossing pass from Ella Patterson to post the first goal of the game. The defensive effort of Nola Kammerer and Kate Caione frustrated Simsbury and disrupted the Galaxy from forming any organized attack.
