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.
