Much to be proud though sad ending - 12/01/08

Tonight was the match for the girls against NTU... YEs, its like a rematch for the guys match...

The girls started the game with a high tempo... They chased every single ball with bravery and determination! Though NTU were the more skillful lot, the girls defended well and even took the lead through Tracy! Twice we lead, twice we lost the lead.

The first goal conceded was quite a freak goal. The shot by the NTU girl was deflected and actually flew over Shi hui's head. She was totally unsighted!

What's worse was the 3rd and crucial goal conceded by the girls. It was the dying seconds of the game when NTU did a line change and had 7 players on the court! Yes, by rules, 1 player should have gotten a 2 min sideline... SMU would be 1 player up and have a huge chance of winning it... However, no one sighted it... Not the referee, not the coach, not the match officials! and through that incident, NTU scored with 30 odd seconds left...

It was a cruel ending for the girls... But the whole lot of us were proud of their performance.. ! cos they played their hearts out!
Tml is the guys' last match and we have a very slim chance of actually qualifying...
whatever it is... i believe we would give it our best to show RP what's SMU are made of... !!!
