Danger place second in Round Robin action.

By Kristen Mitchell

The 99 Lady Danger of Paris Tennessee hosted a round robin this weekend at Memorial Park in Paris TN. The tournament had three teams; the other’s being MC Elite and Clarksville Royals. The tournament rules included 3 points for a win, and one for a tie. The tiebreaker if needed would be goal difference.

In the opening contest The Lady Danger entertained MC Elite. Coach Sean Fraser had to reshuffle his line up without Sophie Carter (Knee) and Riley Browning (Out of town). He was however boosted by the return to the squad of Sami Millette who has been suffering with a bout of the flu.

Dressed in white for the first time this season the Danger controlled the first half having the lion’s share of possession but failed to fashion a clear goal scoring opportunity. The game remained goaless at the interval. The second half was much of the same with the Danger dominating possession until a breakaway goal for Elite spoiled the show, neither team managed to record more than a handful of shots. MC Elite held on and claimed a 1-0 victory.
In the second game of the day MC Elite knew a win would secure the winner’s trophy. They dominated play and ran out eventual 3-1 winners.

Clarksville Royals then raided the Pizza and water part of the concession stand before they took on the host team. The Danger again controlled the game from the start with Gracie Clayton going close to opening her Danger goal scoring account. However, It was Kara Grace Brogdon who opened the scoring to the delight of the large Danger following as she latched on to a cross from Gracie Clayton firing into the net from 7 yards out. The Danger closed out the half with Giovanna Owen, Rudi Beth Wimberley and Kaylynn Jarnigan defending with great maturity. The second half was again dominated by the Danger who provided many flashes of brilliance from all over the field. Solid defending and goalkeeping helped Chynna Haas pick up her third shutout of the season. The final score finished 1-0 and the Danger placed second in the round robin.

Coach Sean Fraser commented ‘Our girls fought hard, they’ve had that eye of the tiger all week and came out and did us proud. It was a real team effort today’

The 99 Lady Danger now sit with a record of 4-3-1 and have a few weeks off with their next scheduled event being the Calvert City tournament on May 2nd.
