Flyers fall to Panthers

On Tuesday the 31st the Flyers travelled to Pine View to take on the Panthers. Dixie did extremely well through the first half in containing the Pine View attack keeping the Panthers to only 2 shots on goal. However Dixie seemed to have a hard time finding the net in the run of play. The 0-0 score line would be broken in the 38th minute when Dally scored off of a Madi Jensen free kick. The second half started the same with Dixie in control, however momentum shifted when a Nicole Thomas goal was inexplicably called back in the 10th minute of the 2nd half after Pine View ran over their own keeper to leave an empty net, the second time Dixie had a goal called back on a "phantom" call. Pine View used the shift to their advantage and pressed the attack more and more until Pine View pulled one back in the 70th minute. 2 minutes later Dixie was again denied after a clear hand ball in the box was left uncalled on a Pine View defender. In the 78th minute Pine View found the back of the net with the game winner after a scrum in the box found the ball, unluckily, bounce off a Dixie player into the net. While disappointed the Flyers continue to hold their heads high knowing their true potential.

J.V. continued to struggle in their game as well, controlling most of the possesion but allowing a goal on the counter in the first half. That would be all the Panthers needed as the Flyers just couldn't find the back of the net.
