Lady Panthers
The Lady Panthers ability to stay in the game impressed coach Jarvis McArthur. The last time his squad went against Calvary they lost 1-6. He is especially impressed with Elyssa Lemapu who scored all four goals in their 4-1 victory over Fitzgerald on Saturday. She has scored 13 of the Lady Panthers 16 goals so far this season.
McArthur sees potential in his young squad and encourages them to keep their head in the game and not be afraid to challenge the opponent or goalkeeper.
Goalkeeper Rebekah Smith asked her team to be tough and chase the ball against Calvary. Her saves and a critical offside error by Calvary kept them scoreless.
