For the second time in two days, the Lady Dawgs take down a ranked 5A side. Yesterday, Kelly beat the Chronicle's #5 rated team, 5A Clear Springs in a shootout. Today, the ladies overwhelmed the Chronicle's #4 ranked team FB Austin with six goals in a shutout. That earns them the right to face #3 ranked and defending 5A state champs, The Woodlands.
First a disclaimer: FB Austin had several key injuries. Having said that; I don't think it would have mattered. So many things went well for Kelly, it is difficult to list them all. They simply dominated this team which went undefeated last year until late in the UIL playoffs.
Defense first; evey time Austin got close, they were shut down by a Madeline Horning led back line and solid keeper play. Offensively, the Lady Dawgs first goal was a throw in from the side headed by Lauren Zeto who headed it to Zuri Prince who also headed it to the feet of Mary Ellen Zummo for a crisp goal. Beautiful. Next was a cross field give and go from Prince to Claire Dykeman back to Prince for a high net strike from the right side. Afshar scored on an assist from Prince. It was 3-0 at half and essentially over. Kelly had 5 corners and one direct kick to Austin's one corner. The Austin goalie played well and had double digit saves. Kelly easily controlled the second half.
