Lady Dons battle Sobrato in nail biter
The Lady Dons of Del Mar traveled to Morgan Hill today to face the Sobrato Bull Dogs at the Morgan Hill Sports center in a game that can be described as nothing less than a nail biter. Although the game ended in a scoreless tie, it was an intense action filled game with both teams just missing on several scoring opportunities. Freshman Allison Haddian and Junior Rachel Schauer both had great shots on goal from 20-30 yards out. The first half seemed to be under control by the Lady Dons, Moving the ball down to the Sobrato end of the field and keeping Sobrato on their heels for most of the half, but as the second half began, Sobrato, a very speedy team, began to pick up the intensity, and started pushing back against the Dons and moving the ball back across midfield. Dons players Allison Haddian , Keyanna Bradford and Ivy Nguyen did a great job of holding off the offensive push by the Bulldogs and Hayley Norman, Sammy Steeves, Olivia Haddian, and Rachel Schauer with help from the rest of the Dons did their best to keep the momentum on the Del Mar side of the ball. In the final 10 minutes of the game Sobrato cranked it up one more notch and came at the Dons with all they had. The Dons were visibly beginning to tire, and shifted into defensive mode to hold off the final Sobrato attack. In the final minutes not even the fancy footwork of a Sobrato player could break the Dons, and the game came to a scoreless end.
