Easy win.
Not much to say in a 4:0 win - the team played well and put away an inferior team in the first half. The game got ragged the last 10 minutes, but it was over by that point. The third goal was a beautiful team counterattack.
The big things were:
1. Thomas finally had a big game - 3 goals and an assist to Kohler. I hope she can keep the momentum going, but there were some signs of life the last few games. So fingers crossed. It’s a big deal if she can be consistently effective.
2. We have a Bhuta sighting - she came in at RM in the first half and looked fine.
I will single out Bray for doing a bunch of really good work in possession that won’t show in the box score. She was better on defense too, but her small size can make it challenging.
A few cracks on defense though. One bad Smith turnover almost turned into a goal (shot off the crossbar) and the color guy got it right - that same diagonal run/through ball issue I mentioned from the USC game showed up a bit again. That is something they need to work on.
