Facing formidable opponents, our varsity team showed momentum. The goalie made acrobatic saves, and even jumped out of the goal to save at one point! The defenders never wavered, cutting off many strong attacks of the opponent. The forwards were intercepted halfway through with the ball many times, but finally seized the opportunity in the final quarter, #87 Iverson broke through the defense and rushed to the attacking zone, scored a goal with a backhand! Against such a mature club team, our newly established varsity team ended up with a score of 5-1. Although we lost, the result exceeded everyone's expectations.
