MIT's offensive corner here is hit out,
stopped, and finished with a shot.
Laura Williams takes the hit out. The
first player seen is Michelle Hardiman, and Stephanie Maifert
crashes in on goal.
The ball gets past a defender and is then
picked up by the sweeper, who runs it up the field and
passes to forwards.
Nicole Botcheos sprints back to cover as
Katie Barron makes the run.
An MIT forward pulls the ball around a
defender, but a double team causes the ball to be tapped
out of reach. The MIT midfielder backing up gets the ball
and hits it up to another forward for an attempt at goal.
Tracy Sadowski and Stephanie Maifert (1997
MIT captains) are the forwards, and Michelle Hardiman is the midfielder.
A free hit goes to the short option and is
then hit upfield. The forward's sprint to retrieve it before
the sideline is stopped by an opposing defender who taps the
ball forward, where it is stopped by another MIT forward and
carried up the field.
Margie Tsai takes the free hit, passing to
Connie Sadowski who hits it up to Stephanie Maifert. Tracy Sadowski
then carries the ball forward.
The outside defender dribbles to get away
from the other team and then passes back to the sweeper who
returns a flat pass. Now facing the right direction, the
outside defender hits the ball up the line to a player who
dishes it back inside to the awaiting midfielder. The
midfielder then carries the ball forward.
Nicole Botcheos makes the run back as outside
defender, passes to Katie Barron who returns the ball, and hits it up.
Michelle Hardiman carries the ball forward.
A midfielder passes to the inside midfielder
on a free hit and receives the pass back to cross the ball.

Sadowski gives the quick pass to beat the defender.
