The heros / Skywalkers playoff game was wild, 4-3 HG
Not original poster, but wild=great, but unexpected game.
The game had a lot of back and forth, and seemed more like evenly matched teams, as opposed to HG crapping the bed and SW playing out of their minds. And, unlike some of the Saturday games, the refs stayed mostly out of the way. I doubt the game would stay close if it were 44 minutes. SW didn't appear to make any substitutions, so their play quality would have likely gone down significantly as time progressed.
HG goalie is elite. HG midswere physical and fast. Anything in the center of the field was subject to HG swarming.
The SW defense looked very solid--held off a pretty tough onslaught for a large part of the game. Their O offense looked way more composed than usual.

Agree.
Skywalkers has a very physical and tough Defense for sure but in a full game where they would have to sub, they would get exposed. The only subs were made at mid and maybe one at D for the playoff game.
The SW offense looked solid, they didn't rush and made some nice goals and the HG goalie saved at least 2-3 goals on free positions and made other stops, she is excellent.
More than anything, Skywalkers needs depth for subbing and a dedicated draw girl but overall they continue to improve. I think you will be one last influx of talent this summer and they'll field a really good team moving forward, that is the skywalker recipe.
Hats off to the HG goalie who is amazing, a bunch of SW parents said "great stop, nice outlet, etc", she is elite.
