Titans Shutout Winters Mill 1-0

  - Highlights coming soon

September 14, 2009...  The Titans took to the road for the first time this season earning a 1-0 victory over Winters Mill.

The Titans struggled mightily in the first half as they attempted to adjust to the narrow confines of the Winters Mill stadium.  As a result Winters Mill took control of most of the half.  The Titans defense was well organized though and only allowed two shots in the half. 

To begin the second half the Titans began to find their rhythm and began finding their dangerous pair of strikers in senior Michelle Rock and freshmen Aaran Parry.  Their combinations and strong individual runs began finding holes in the Falcon defense and led to a number of chances and restarts in the final third.  In the 57' minute, Parry took a direct kick from 25 yards hitting a bending, dipping ball that beat the keeper but struck the underside of the crossbar.  Despite the failed attempt the Titan pressure was on and nine minutes later they scored the game winner when junior back Annie Wickett played a ball behind the Falcon defense which Parry jumped on and proceeded to chip the keeper from 15 yards.

The Titans got strong contributions from the reserves as senior midfielder Brittany Shankle entered the game and brought a high level of composure and technique to the field helping the Titans take control of the midfield.  Senior goalkeeper Sarah Jo Hayden recorded four saves in the shutout effort.

The JV Titans improved to 1-1-1 on the season with a 1-1 tie against Winters Mill.
