Bedford 1 Ann Arbor Huron 5
The Lady Mules
opened up SEC play today against the River Rats of Ann Arbor Huron at Bedford
Soccer Stadium. The Lady Mules had a good start to the game and got a goal from
Amelia Davis on a beautiful free kick from about 20 yards out to give Bedford
a 1-0 lead. Ann Arbor Huron tied the score about 10 minutes later to make it 1-1
and that is where the score stayed until halftime. The second half was pretty
much all Ann Arbor Huron. The Lady Mules started out well but things started to
go down hill after Huron scored their second and third goal. It was a disappointing
loss because the girls did not play well at all the second half. It showed us
that we have a lot of work to do if we want to consistently compete with the elite
teams in our league. The Lady Mules are now 3-1 and will travel to Kalamazoo this
weekend for the Loy Norrix Invitational.

Bedford
- 0 Saline - 3
Today the Lady Mules traveled to Saline for a SEC
contest with the Hornets. Overall, it was a disappointing game. The girls game
out very timid and you could tell that there was no enthusiasm or intesity in
the way they were playing. We still seem to have a mental weakness when it comes
to playing the elite teams in our league. The girls played hard from time to time
but there was no purpose to accompany their work rate. Much like the Ann Arbor
Huron game, it shows us that we still have a ways to go to be able to consistently
compete with the elite teams in our league. Kaylee Foster and Jackie Harrison
played well on defense for us and Chayna Wallace made 11 saves in net. Bedford
is now 5-2 overall and 0-2 in the SEC.

a beautiful through ball by Rachel Cousino that found Lynn Hendricks. Hendricks
took the ball to the near post and slotted it back to Hannigan who was waiting
wide open on top of the six. Amelia Davis would add Bedford's final goal off a
free kick from about 25 yards out. Jackie Harrison, Kaylee Foster, Christine Spader,

Bedford - 2 Woodhaven
- 0
The Championship Game was a rematch of last year's Monroe Invitational
Championship. Bedford made it to the final last year and fell to Woodhaven 3-0.
This year was a different story. The Lady Mules came out determined to avenge
their loss from last year and capture the tournament title. We played a much more
physical game against Woodhaven this year and we controlled the tempo of the game.
Woodhaven is a solid team and could play with just about anybody on any given
day. We controlled most of the possession in the first half and both teams had
a few chances. Kaylee Foster would get the Lady Mules on the board late in the
first half when Sam Barker serviced in a free kick that caused a scramble in front
of the box. The ball popped out to Foster who was waiting on the back post to
tap it in. The score was 1-0 at halftime. Woodhaven came out strong in the second
half and put heavy pressure on us for the first 10 minutes. We were able to continually
work the ball out of the back and we started to regain control of the game. Foster
would find the back of the net again late in the second half to preserve the win
for Bedford. Lynn Hendricks serviced in a corner kick that found Foster on the
back post. Chayna Wallace made 5 saves to record her 9th shutout of the season.
