[quote=Anonymous]Ventured out from across town to see the Oakton/Yorktown game.  Very exciting game so hats off to both teams.  I thought coming in Oakton with all the hype would win by 7 or more, but that wasn't the case.  Yorktown had a game plan and came ready to play.  It was a real close game pretty much the whole way through and at the end, Oakton scored 2 late goals to pull away comfortably then stalled the last 2 min or so.  Both had great goaltending, but would definitely have to give the edge to the Yorktown starting goalie.  If it wasn't for her, they would have been blown out, she was excellent in cage.  Oakton's strength is clearly their defense along with their goalie.  Yes their is 100% weak links in the chain and if you are smart coach, you can easily figure this out and exploit the weak links, there help on 1v1's is very good, but they don't pick up the offensive person they left to slide from, and she often times is wide open.  Yorktown definitely has some athletes and from what i understand they are young but very well coached.  So put a plus 1 in the win column for coaching for Yorktown over Oakton.  Yorktown's offense was patient but also picked up the pace when they needed to and thats when they started to fluster the Oakton defense.  Oakton still only has 3 impact players at middie, and the coach didn't sub one player last night (without counting the flyer they ran), so needless to say, you can see their top players getting tired toward the end of the game.  Seems like to me if you take out or face guard their top 2 middies, you have crippled their offense.  
All in all, it was a really exciting game to watch and still think that there are too many teams that are very evenly matched and you have to figure all of these teams will get better as the season goes along, should be fun.  [/quote]
