Match Report - SIM VS NUS Ladies

We’ve come to the second game of the day, this time round having SIM which topped Table A. It’s another game which determined who would make it for the finals, NUS or SIM? The defending champions, SIM had all their key players this time round, ready to fight against Team NUS who were physically fit.
1st Period
And again, the 1st period started off with a slow pace. It was obvious that both teams were not used to the Ger-Flor. SIM had more ball possession and at the 4th minute, a wrong pass made from SIM #2 to NUS nearly saw a goal for NUS, but the NUS player missed the goal. A free hit was given to SIM, #12 Duck passed to #20 Priscilla where she took a wrist shot but was saved by NUS #15 Widya. NUS #10 made a very nice break-in, took a drag shot against SIM but it flew out.


2nd Period
Not wanting to waste any more time, SIM won the face-off. SIM’s #12 Duck took a wrist shot against NUS’s veteran goalie Widya, but was saved once again. SIM’s favourite #19, Angela showed off her dribbling skills and made beautiful yet simple passes to her teammate #2 Louie which missed the shot quite a few times. NUS was working very hard to get their goals coming, however all were to no avail as shots were not put on target. SIM was still able to hold their play and kept more ball possession most of the time. The NUS girls were very hardworking, they made sure they man-marked SIM very tightly were able to hold them back until the period ended still with a score of 0-0.


3rd Period
It was either a make it or break it for both teams, there wasn’t any much time left to waste. It was almost half of the third period when SIM finally scored their first goal! #4 Stella took a quick wrist shot against NUS’s #15 Widya.This calls for a celebration for SIM! Almost close to the end of the period, SIM’s #4 Stella was given 2 minutes for slashing. NUS tried to make use of this 2 minutes to get their goal but to no avail again. After the final whistle was blown, SIM jumped in joy! The game ended with a final score of 1-0 to SIM. Will it be another year for SIM to defend their championship title? We’ll see when they meet RP this Friday!
