Express played host to our friends from Stavanger, Norway on Wednesday, March 12.  The Norwegian team is a select team of girls from the Stavanger area. The first twenty minutes of the match saw good end-to-end action from both teams with the visitors having the better of the opening exchanges. Then on the thirty-minute mark of the match, the visitors took the lead. Express replied well in the closing minutes of the first half by creating, but not taking, some good opportunities to draw level before the half was over. Half-Time Score: Express 0 - 1 Norway.

The second half started in similar fashion, but with fifteen minutes left in the game Express won a free-kick about 25 yards out. The sweetly struck free-kick beat everyone except the crossbar. Norway pressed the final minutes of the game and, from a set-play corner, closed out the game to make it 2-0 to the visitors. Final Score: Express 0 - Norway 2. Congrats to our friends from Norway on a match well played. Thanks to the nearly 250 fans who attended the game and made the evening exciting and enjoyable, and special thanks to guest coach Susan Bush from the University of Houston.
