| Aussies Beat Canada in Epic Battle |
|
Unbelievably dramatic game was played by the members of the team Australia and the team Canada. The defending champions from Australia confirmed their dominance after all and defeated their opponents 12:10 in the fabulous battle. Canadians were demonstrating that they did not fear the defending champions and often engaged in dangerous attacks. Dany Dobbie was the first one to shot a goal, but Aussies scored four times in a row and thus led 4:1. After that, Canada pressed their opponents and were down by only a single goal (4:5) after a couple of successful actions. However, the end of the first half was in Australian hands, who added three goals and led 8:5 in the halftime. Fearless performance of the Canadian players suggested very interesting and dramatic lacrosse in the second period, what was affirmed soon ofter the break. The Maple Leafs players were the ones who commenced striking in great style. Three goals, which authors were twice Brooke McKenzie and once Jess Brownridge, meant a tie 8:8. Noticeably shattered Australians called for a timeout, which was their second wind, Canadians struggled to attack, and soon it was the Aussies who were in charge. The first quick attack was soon successfully finished by Cassandra Cursaro, and when Tegan Brown and Stacey Morlang added another goals of the defending champions, it seemed that Australia reached the crucial advantage. However, Canadians refused to settle for this score, and managed to conjured an astonishing end of the match. After Crysti Foote scored to 9:11, Alicia Moodie followed her lead and just one-goal game was played fifteen minutes to the end of the game. Canada reigned in next ten minutes, but their attackers failed to push the ball behind awesome Australian goalkeeper. Australia controlled the ball only since the third minute to the end of the match and Melissa Williams was the last one to score to final 12:10. Yet Aussies will face USA in the World Cup finals. |
